Fishing Report: Captain Michael. 12/1/23. The bay fishing has been producing some nice solid fish. Redfish are moving out along grass flats and are hitting fresh cut bait and lures. If lure fishing throw lures that resemble the same colors that match the real bait. Match the hatch color schemes. Fish will start off in deeper water and move into shallower adjacent water as temperatures rise. Speckled trout are hanging along deeper water drop offs. Larger soft plastic in the winter are a good choice. Sheepshead fishing should turn on sometime soon. This is also a good time to try and target some snook.

Drum and reds have been schooling up tight. Look for signs of dirty or off colored water in clear area around shorelines or small drop offs.
Live shrimp under or popping cork or cut mullet and skip Jack have been the key.
Trout bite has been good with croaker when you can find a good concentration of slot trout.

On September 30th, a group of four went out on a charter to Baffin Bay. The goal of the trip was to catch some redfish, trout, and drum.
We started fishing right away and had some success catching redfish. After a few hours, we had landed quite a few redfish. We also caught a few trout and drum while we were out.
Unfortunately, while we were out, heavy rain storms chased us away from Baffin Bay. We took the opportunity to take a break and wait for the rain to pass.
Once the rain had passed, we returned to Baffin Bay and were able to finish up our redfish limit. We were back to weigh in by noon.
All in all, our charter was a success. Despite the heavy rain storms, we were able to get our redfish limit and get back to weigh in on time. We look forward to our next charter and the chance to catch even more fish.
Captain Nino
