    The fishing in the Sarasota area has been great. Whether you are fishing off the beach or in the bay there has been a consistent bite with multiple different species. Off the beaches right now, you can expect to catch a limit of Spanish mackerel along with cobia and King mackerel. The little Tony a.k.a. Bonita is soon to arrive to the party. All of these fish make great table fare and are a blast to catch. On the inshore side of things, the snook and red fish fishing has been on fire. With with plenty of bait around the fish have been very active. The pompano and sheepshead should be biting in the next few weeks as the water temperatures drop.

    October's off to a great start as our pelagic fish are starting to move south. The bait is plentiful inside the passes and around grass flats . We are consistently catching Cobia, bonita, kingfish and Spanish mackerel at the nearshore reefs using live Pilchards . Covering the entire water Column is key , triple tail are starting to be targeted as the stone crab traps are put out. Typically we run full speed by the stone trap bouys looking for triple tail and then we sight cast to them . October and November are prime triple tail months . Also this is a great time to target blacktip sharks under the schools of mackeral using cut bait on wire leaders . Inside the bay sea trout, snook and redfish are feeding before winter . Using live Pilchards is key. I typically am out an hour before the charter catching hundreds of live Pilchards giving us a great chance for a non stop fishing adventure.

Fishing report from Chris P. in Port Arthur, Texas Book a trip with Captain Chris here.

    Trout fishing has been good with most coming off plastics and catch 2000. Redfish are in the marsh over shell and off the points. The birds are starting to work in the mornings in Sabine Lake. Look for the bird action to really turn on when we get a good front that empties the marshes and pushes the shrimp out.

    Cobia fishing has been great this September. We're catching them sight casting and bottom fishing. Trout and red drum have been very good since the water has cooled down, and the artificial bite has really picked up using zman 3 inch paddle tails in pinfish color. Trout and red drum will continue to get better as water cools down for october. This picture is Amanda VanDyke with a nice one!

    Fishing is starting to fire back off with fall very near. Redfish are starting to chew a lot better and within the next few weeks the bite will be hot. Water temps are starting to drop helping out the bite tremendously. Cooler water and lower tides these big reds start getting caught up in big potholes on the flats . Majority is caught on big ole cut baits

    Cobia fishing is in full swing. Fish are starting to stage up in their late summer patterns and they are snapping. Limits of cobia almost every trip and it should only get better from here.

    For the last several weeks the red snapper bite has been steady but not as good as it was earlier. We have been catching limits of snapper but you have to work thru smaller fish to get them. The offshore mangrove snapper fishing has been great all year and continues to be good. Cobia have been good as well with plenty of legal fish coming in. When the water is clean Wahoo are being caught closer to shore. Also grouper are still steady but you have to go deep to be consistent.

Fishing report from Dave W. in Wilmington, North Carolina Book a trip with Captain Dave here.

    The last couple weeks the wind has kept some from getting out and fishing but when the weather has cooperated fishing had been producing some nice fish. Trolling for Pelagic's has been spotty and when you do find them numbers have been down compared to previous seasons. Bottom fishing when you find your spot has been extremely good producing keeper gag grouper and for some reason lots of cobia. Almost every bottom trip produces keeper size cobia. Many of us agree that our cooler than usual spring that went straight to intense summer heat may have derailed some of the usual migration of certain species. That being said last few days those missing fishing are starting to show.

    The snapper bite has been a little off kilter this season. However, if you put in the work there are still some monsters swimming around out there. The vermillion bite is still very solid. However, if you can get them to the boat before the dolphins snatch them off your line your doing good. The deep troll offshore from the edge outward has really been on fire lately. A lot of great catches being reported of Mahi, Wahoo, and some monster Cobia.
