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.

We are expecting a good Fall fishing season. The temperatures have cooled down, and the fish are biting pretty good. We are catching some small Tarpon on artificial baits. The Snook bite has been consistent in the Backcountry.

Here's some from today's trip. We were back in Flamingo again, catching snook in the 17- 26in range. Had a slot red pull hook at the boat. We ended up with 14 Snook to hand.
