    Spanish Mackerel Fishing in Sarasota, Florida
    11/02/2022 Spanish Mackerel
    It is officially fall in Sarasota, Florida and we are enjoying the cooler temperatures. We have experienced our first cold front of the year and our water temperatures got as low as 64 degrees in some places. By the end of October our water temperatures have climbed back up to a comfortable 70 - 78 degrees and the fish are loving it! During the cold front our customers enjoyed targeting Snook in creeks while they were finding the warmer water. Before and after the cold front we targeted schools of Redfish on our shallow grass flats, while water temperatures were low we had good luck targeting Redfish along structure and dock lines. Once our water temperatures warmed up the Trout, Mackerel and Bluefish fishing in Sarasota Bay really took off! Winter is just around the corner and we are enjoying our fall fishing while it lasts!

    Hey David the fishing has been productive. We are catching cobia and mackerel on the inshore reefs. Trout, redfish and snook are still feeding in the bay. Sharks and tuna are adding some more fun to the party as well!!

    Florida Pompano, Spanish Mackerel Fishing in Melbourne Beach, Florida
    10/26/2022 Florida Pompano, Spanish Mackerel
    Fishing is hot right now on the Central Florida coast! We are seeing waves of Pompano migrating through with the schools of Mackerel and Bluefish. The seaweed has subsided for the most part, this is the best it's been all year for surf fishing. Find yourself some clean water, a good sandbar and you'll be on your way for some quality fishing. My go-to lure for Bluefish and Mackerel and Big Jacks in the surf. 1oz Gunslinger Jig by Beach Bum Lures. Pompano Rig - Pompano Rich "Pompano Catchers" Surfari Series- Color coordinate your floats to the water conditions. Bait of Choice - Live sandfleas or shrimp cut into small pieces tipped with FishGum. Tight Lines and Good fishing!

    Red drum fishing has been very good sight casting and cut bait fishing for them. The trout are starting to really pick up as the wintering months get coming on casting jigs preferably z-mans 3 inch minno Z's have been working very good. A long with that the sheepshead fishing is picking up around the structures around the inlet and outside the inlet in the ocean.

    Mangrove Snapper, Scup / Porgy, Spanish Mackerel Fishing in Niceville, Florida
    10/15/2022 Mangrove Snapper, Scup, Spanish Mackerel
    The bite has still been good in October. We have the weekends open for red snapper but it has been hard to catch some of the bigger ones closer to shore. We have been catching other species though. Wahoo and blackfin tuna are supposed to venture in closer to shore this time of year. A few wahoo have been caught by some of my friends just 5-15 miles from the shore. The Destin rodeo is going on through October and many fish have been caught including a giant 300 lb Warsaw grouper! Large schools of bull redfish are starting to gather in the back bay areas. We came up on a school of bull reds crashing the top water and hooked into a 20 pound redfish the other day.

    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.
