The red fish bite is still good despite them being spread out a little in the creeks and flats. Most are staging in the inlets for the mullet run and spawning.
Flounder and drum bite is still good. Look for both in creek corners and creek mouths for the flounder.
The water temperature will start to drop in the next few weeks so we can expect to start seeing some triple tail more often and the trout bite will get better.
We’re also picking up snook in residential canals and creeks on the falling tide.
Tarpon are on the beach along with big jacks and Spanish mackerel. Target the pogy pods just off the beach or in the surf.

Captain Bill was good. We did order an inshore trip be he wanted to go offshore. Minimal bait. Had 2 small bags of squid then we used cut bait from what we caught. Most fish were not keepers but did reel in a bunch of fish. One amberjack. Kept a lot of fish for his dog.

Frank was the best captain! He has great knowledge of the area and offers many different fishing experiences. He was also very encouraging and helpful when reeling in our monster of a fish! We definitely plan on taking another trip with him as our captain soon!
