The past few weeks have brought strong east winds which made for ideal fall conditions to fish just a mile or two off the beach. This time of year when the bait migrates the king mackerel, spanish mackerel, bonita, and sharks will not be far behind. The bait will generally be thick along the beaches but companied with the strong winds making it calmer closer to shore there will be an abundance of predator fish as well making for lots of fun.
On our fishing charters the past few weeks we have caught king mackerel up to 20 lbs, bonita that fight like crazy, and lots of spanish mackerel. This has provided anglers lots of fun fish to catch and great meals that same day. the fish are caught in areas holding bait and by putting a hooked bait into areas that fish are actively feeding on schools of bait. This type of fishing only lasts about a month in the fall and then again in the spring.
The inshore fishing has been world class this fall with the main attraction being the redfish. There will continue to be a good redfish bite around the mangroves through the end of the year. The snook fishing has been about the same with larger fish being caught in the last month or so as they come back to the mouth of river to eat and go to their winter haunts. As it gets cooler the trout fishing should get really good and should be a lot of big fish around with the closure.
There is a lot of good fishing going on right now and you do not want to miss out. Thanksgiving is fast approaching and is a great time to get the kids out fishing and get them hooked.
