With the Fall Season upon us, the weather has been a little windy, but we're still getting some pretty good catches. Here's some pictures from my last trip, We were able to put together a mixed bag of Tarpon, Redfish Jacks and Snook.

It's been a windy few weeks with multiple cold fronts pushing through. Which has gave way to some excellent patch reef fishing . Many keeper mutton's have moved shallow with some being caught over 18 pounds in less then 17 ft of water . Not to mention decent yellowtails , red grouper , lane snappers ,mackerels and more . On the inshore side bait has been thick giving way to many great opportunities for tarpon snook , and plus sized mangrove snappers . Plenty of action to be had !

The inshore fall byte, has been heating up. Lots of red fish Some really nice black drum, a few sheepshead and the occasional snook. It's been too rough to get offshore. The last couple of weeks, hopefully that will change soon. The bite should be red hot.

It's that time of year where the water cools and the reef fishing starts to heat up. Plenty of healthy mutton snapper in the shallows along with mangroves and the occasional grouper with some too big to stop before getting you back in the reef. Also the cooler water means Sailfish. Winter time sailfishing is one of the most sought after fisheries during the winter months with multiple hookups and releases being pretty consistent.

Fall fishing has begun , bringing some great offshore , inshore , and near shore fishing opportunities! This is our favorite time of year . Wrecks fishing is starting to heat up with flag yellow tail, mutton's and more . Lobstering is definitely always i. The back of our minds when conditions are favorable and we had some decent luck between patch reef fishing . Offshore mahi are still around and we finally starting to see some larger sized schools of fish show up . Over all beginning of fall season has been solid and we look forward to seeing
