Fall patterns have begun, we have started to see monster red fish show up in the bay. Looks like they are gearing up for a great red run this september and october. Trout fishing was great before this cold front/wind blast weโ€™ve got. Once the sun comes back out and se warm up, it should resume. We have the makings for a great end of sumer and beginning of fall.

The bulls read have held steady. Tons of action. Weโ€™ve had great success fininding fish over 35โ€. Yesterday we landed a total of 14. Lost several others. We have also been catching a variety of other species such as black drum, sheeps head, and the occasional popano. Fishing patterns should be holding great through december.
