October is starting off in full fashion. This is the best month of the year to catch a redfish of a lifetime.

Red October has been good. The back bays and jetties have been producing big boxes of fish. Big schools of slot reds are ganging up at the jetties making for some crazy mornings. On the other hand, Flounder gigging has been challenging. Water conditions have been tough, with low tide and crazy high tides and cloudy water, but we are still producing good numbers of fish. No two nights are the same!

If you haven’t given fall bay fishing a try, you are missing out on a fun and fruitful time! Fishing around the oyster beds, breaks, and drop-offs for trout, redfish, or flounder, using MirrOlures, Gulp, or shrimp. For black drum and redfish, fish by the birds. Look for seagulls working...

If you haven’t given fall bay fishing a try, you are missing out on a fun and fruitful time! Fishing around the oyster beds, breaks, and drop-offs for trout, redfish, or flounder, using MirrOlures, Gulp, or shrimp. For black drum and redfish, fish by the birds. Look for seagulls working and fish will follow. Lots of undersized trout and plenty of slot reds.

Redfish still have been taking the spotlight. Sand, grass, mud or shell it doesn't matter. Water temps are dropping at night and these fish are eating like crazy.

Redfish have been most productive on a falling tide. We're finding them coming out of the back marsh. When we're able to get out to the surf it has be lights out. Been using a mix of artificial and live bait.

Great week. September fishing is notorious for being challenging. During the peak of summer the water temperature is at its hottest, lately I have been seeing water temps around 84. Boat traffic is at an all time high, especially on weekends which can also be detrimental to the bite. Hot water & boat traffic are not appealing to trout, they would prefer cooler temps. Due to this then move out deep seeking cooler water. While this may all sound like doom and gloom, fear not!
Redfish, Black Drum, Sheephead, Flounder, & Catfish...
They still have to eat!
