Big catches last couple days on smaller reds with speckled trout mixed in. Probably caught 25 reds today unfortunately they all 15 to 16" fish. Water temperature dropped down to mid 60s and baitfish have filled our river. Glad summer is over.

Our water temperature is starting to come down, and the fish has started arriving. Big Spanish mackerel hit the grass flats late September through October. Also, Pompano join the party in the Bay as well. Speckled trout have begun packing on the pounds by eating pinfish almost as big as them. Well, Spanish mackerel, fishing I had this pinfish eat my Spanish Fly and the speckled trout eat my pinfish. Clients are doubling up mackerel and 3 to 4 pound ladyfish. If that doesn’t suit your fancy, sight fishing for redfish has also picked up.
