    Hey Hannah, the redfish bite is still steady. With the flood tides target grass lines with a popping cork and a live mullet or shrimp on a 1/0 circle hook. For the bull reds target the inlets with either live mullet, blue crab or cut bait on a 3/0 hook with minimal weight. Slack tides will produce the best fishing. Flounder, same ole story. Target creek mouths, bends and sandbars. The snook bite is the best it's been in a couple of weeks. Target most of the same area's as the smaller refs and flounder with live shrimp or finger mullet on a 1/0 to a 3/0 hook with a split shot or under a popping cork. In the St. John's River the everything is still keyed in on shrimp as they thin out. Use a slip cork rig with a 1/0 to 3/0 hook and pitch up close to natural shoreline and hold on. You can expect to catch everything from largemouth, striped bass, red fish and catfish. Currently we are experiencing higher than usual flood tides so the fishing is tough but once you find them the bite is pretty good.

    Hi Hannah, Our October has been great so far. Redfish and flounder have been great using artificial lures and live shrimp along the grass lines, marsh drains and reefs.

    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.

    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.

    Fishing has been good with light winds. Pods of redfish and black drum have been showing themselves. Trout and flounder can still be caught along the Intracoastal waterway. Mornings have been nice with cooler temperatures it's been nice relief from the heat.

Fishing report from Harry A. in Galveston, Texas Book a trip with Captain Harry here.

    It been pretty much a red fish rodeo the last 2 weeks. High tides have pushed the red fish deep into the marsh. Live shrimp under a popping cork has bee been the best producer. However TopWater lures and paddle tail jigs have also taken there share of nice slot and upper slot fish.

    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.

    The weather, wind direction, and high pressure have made trout fishing a little slow. The good news is that the temperature drop has kicked off the fall flounder migration and the bull redfish run. Should be on the same pattern for the month of October! Great time of the year to fish.
