Birds Eye View: Welcome back to “cold” weather and Inshore fishing! Air temps have become mild and water temps falling into the 60s signals plenty of fun, relaxing fishing. Sheepshead, Redfish and Trout have been simple and easy going.

Inshore:

Inshore fishing remains the most reliable option. Water temps have been up and down from the low 60s and up to as high as the low 70s. I expect it to hover in the mid to low 60s for the next couple weeks which is the absolute hot spot for our fishery.

The wind up to the full moon and mid day low tides the fishing has been really really good for sheepshead. Great numbers, action and a better than average size for the fall bite has been providing lots of fun on the 4 and 6 hour trips. Plenty of bait is available making things feel light and fun!

The redfish are starting to school and drop into the same holes daily. As well as mixed in when fishing rocks and docks in the river still. I expect more reds to be seen moving towards shallow water as the water cools in the coming weeks.

Trout action has been scattered but starting to fill in as the water cools. Mostly speckled trout but the few yellowmouth ive come in contact with have been better sized.

Mangrove snapper are still biting decent but just small to just legal. Perfect fun for the young guns on board.

Offshore:

Not much to report on this front. Weather has kept the ocean out of reach for all my charters in November.

Closeout: Inshore is the name of the game right now with fantastic catches being had daily. Hopefully this holds out for a while!
