Hey David! We had some wind come in yesterday afternoon/today which clouded up the shallow patch reefs and made for some good fishing today. Water temp has dropped off to 78 degrees and we are starting to see a lot of our winter migratory fish!

Weather is cooling down and it's really starting to feel like fall. Redfish, trout and snook love this time of year. Cool weather and a hot bite! Florida bay comes alive in the fall/winter months.

As the seasons change, we are awaiting the arrival of the winter fish—especially Sailfish! The typical fall patterns of late season Mahi and Blackfin Tunas are still in the area. The Florida Keys had very little damage and are up and running!
