As the temperature is cool the fishing bite is heating up! If it changes in temperature are triggering fish, migrations, and feeding. We have been catching a wide variety of fish, including trout, sheepshead, flounder, striped bass, redfish, and more. Last year, we caught fish well into the winter time.
