Fishing report from Nick T. in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida Book a trip with Captain Nick here.

    Fishing here in Santa Rosa beach is on fire right now. Offshore we are catching vermillion snapper, triggerfish, mangrove snapper, few kings and Spanish and some Mahi and black fin tuna around our fads offshore. Inshore is heating up with most catches being redfish and jack Crevalle, but we are still finding speckled trout, Spanish mackerel and mangrove snapper.

Fishing report from Ryan W. in Yscloskey, Louisiana Book a trip with Captain Ryan here.

    Fishing down in Shell Beach Louisiana has been pretty steady considering the heat and rain we've been having. Speckled trout and redfish have been plentiful this summer! With good tidal movements all summer along with plenty of bait, the fish are here, and hungry! We've seen an uptick in tripletail this year as well. The Red Snapper have been great also. We don't have much longer for the season to be open. But the this weekend for labor day, we have a 4 day weekend to target Red Snapper among many other species out there in the deep waters. The fall should be phenomenal down here this year with plenty of Speckled trout, redfish and sheepshead.

Fishing report from Kerri C. in Port O'Connor, Texas Book a trip with Captain Kerri here.

    Summer has officially started in Port O’ Connor. There are 3 major bay systems in Port O’Connor, west matagorda bay, Espiritu Bay, and San Antonio Bay. Each one has its own characteristics and each present a challenge on finding good fish. Espiritu Bay has been producing solid trout on top water baits in the early morning and plastics such as down south lures. The trout have moved from the mud from the back lakes and sloughs to the sand of the south shore lines and sand bars, as the day gets warmer they move from the flats to the deeper guts and then back to the flats as the evening arrives and the bait moves back onto the flats. The redfish have also been producing very well this summer and can be caught on top water and plastics as well. West matagorda bay has been on fire as of late and the trout have been in an abundance on the sandbars and flats. The bull reds have been epic this year in deeper waters from bird island all the way into the jetties early in the morning and have been caught on jigs. San Antonio Bay has been a little slower on producing fish but they are starting to turn on too. Each bay has oyster reefs, sand, and grass pockets which all present a different challenge on how to fish and be successful on getting a limit of trout and reds. As the we get into July and august the fish are going to move into deeper water to stay cool so we always have to be aware of water temperature and tidal movement. Also the months of July and august are great for going to the surf because we hardly get any wind in those months which keeps the surf calm and there are some big trout and reds that hang out on the gulf side of the barrier islands.

    The inshore bite has been as hot as the temps here in SW Florida. The seatrout bite is crazy good around the grass flats in 3-5 feet of water. Shrimp under a popping cork is the ticket. There have been some quality redfish hanging around the mangrove edges and oyster bars on higher water. Free lined pinfish or pins under a float will work best. Just remember to get out early to beat the heat as the bite has been over around 11 am.

Fishing report from Dan M. in Fort Myers, Florida Book a trip with Captain Dan here.

    Hey David, the fishing has been pretty steady even though we have water temperatures in the high 80s. Today my guest, a non-fisherman, brought in a 32 inch snook off the flats today! What a great find this time of year. I have also seen plenty of red fish this last week and the speckled sea trout bite is still hot as usual. No live bait needed for the Speckled SeaTrout, as they will hit soft plastics and hard Subsurface Bates as long as you work them correctly.

    Fishing has been Fantasic targeting the trout bite in the mornings. Majority of my clients a taking trout limits home if not limits pretty close to it. Redfish has been hit or miss recently. Still to hot for them to come out into the clear water. We been catching flounder here and there while Fishing for trout as well.

    Despite the rain, we've been staying busy on the water. We caught many snapper this season and now looking forward to reeling in some red drum, triple tail, and sheep heads.

    Kids are schooling but so are the fish! With the late Summer patterns the fish are schooling on deep structure in 8 to 12 ft of water! Our main tactics have been using a popping cork with 3 foot of 40lb leader, split shot and a #4 treble hook with a live shrimp hooked in the tail. We've had multiple outings where our shrimp has been attacked within the first 10 seconds of hitting the water! The fast and furious action will continue on this deep structure for the entire month of September and in to the first week of October. In the previous years, once we get the first cool snap of the year the fish will migrate from this deep structure to mouth's of bayou's, drains and rivers to ambush shrimp, shad, mullet and glass minnows being flushed from the shallows. Just because the kids are back to school doesn't mean you can't come out at and have fishing trip of a lifetime. Get your trip booked and let's go make some memories! Tight lines

Fishing report from Frank B. in Stone Harbor, New Jersey

    The water us finally warming up to where is should be this time of the year. We are starting to get better fluke action on the reefs and wrecks in the 40-80' range. There are good numbers of sea bass around too, but mostly on the short side. 1-4# blues have invaded the Inshore lumps and can be taken on small metals or trolling. There have even been some king mackerel taken while trolling. We had one launch right in front of the boat the other day. There are schools of bait pretty much everywhere you look, so it's just a matter of time, or finding the right one, to get on the fish. It should only get better from here on. Tight Lines!"

    The redfish bite in the back bays of Southwest Florida is starting to pick up and will only get better through the end of October. Plenty of breeder snook can be found in the passes and along the beaches. Bait has been plentiful on the grass flats which is a good place to work artificial lures for trout. Tarpon can still be found but time is running out on the 2022 season.
