Black drum have shown up and ate hungry. The redfish bite still remains good as they start schooling up. And last but not least some flounder are arriving and the trout bite still remains good throwing artificial at them.

They are fired up on the wrecks with plenty of beeliners and triggers to mix in w them. Still seeing plenty of amberjacks as well. Inshore the sheepshead fishing is as good as it gets, with awesome numbers of trout and mangrove snappers.

The weather is cooling down but the fishing is heating up, and it’s getting to be some of the finest fishing of the year. We are finding large schools of redfish, big hungry snook, larger slot sized trout and to top it off the sheepshead are moving inshore for the winter months. We are starting to transition over to fishing shrimp but still catching nice white bait for the big predators to eat. It’s a great time to get out and fight some fish, the winds have held us up from going offshore much but the inshore bite is just...

Redfish, trout and Black drum
With the cooler weather moving in the fish are moving into the rivers and creeks. We are using artificial and shrimp to catch them in the deeper holes as the weather keeps getting colder the fish will keep moving into the deep holes and you can sit in one hole and catch everything.

The crappie are getting ready to spawn here in Florida and the bite is going off. We are using minnows under slip corks and jigs in 4ft to 11ft of water around docks and grass.

It's that time of year, water temperatures are dropping, Speckled trout and pompano are moving in tight to bars and tross and getting fat for the cold winter.
You're favorite jig and cork combo. Whether it be a DOA, gulp, Salt water assassin (my personal favorite). Other things work good as well suspending bates like mirrodien, or your favorite top water.
Sara and her friends had a blast today.

Cooler weather has really heated up the fishing here in south Florida.. lots of quality Dolphin around. With the wind and the colder weather has really started the sailfish season off with a bang!!!! Multiple sails being caught daily.. plenty of blackfin and skip jack tunas around. Some are in the 8-15 lb range but there is also lots of smaller tunas and little bullet bonitas which have made the wahoo fishing insane!!! Plenty of 40 plus lb wahoos caught past few weeks. There has also been some yellow fin tunas in the area a few over 100 lbs have...
