Fresh Fishing Reports from Palmetto

This is what fall is all about!

October 7, 2025

As we move into fall, these big snook wil start to move up in the bays and onto the flats. For the wade fisherman it is a dream come true! Fall is my favorite time of the year. Big fish and an epic top water bite. What more could you ask?!? Let’s get out there and make some memories!

Fall is just getting started!

October 5, 2025

The fall transition is in full swing and the fish got the memo! Snook are moving in from the beaches and passes. Reds are all over the place and the trout are starting to stack up. It truly is my favorite time of the year to get after some fish! Get on the calendar soon and don’t miss out!

Red October is off with a bang!

October 2, 2025

This is hands down my favorite time of the year for fishing. Now through Thanksgiving or so is always a special season. Snook are still around and moving from the beaches and passes up into the bays and flats. Big push of our larger reds in the bay and the big trout start showing their beautiful faces in preparation for winter. Forgot to mention that the top water bite is pretty epic as well! Get with me soon to chase some trophies and make some memories!

Redfish, Snook and Trout

September 30, 2025

Inshore fishing is always a solid choice—even when the wind picks up. With so many options to target specific species, there’s no shortage of action. Snook, redfish, and trout top the list, but the possibilities don’t stop there. Sometimes, you even get a shot at jumping a silver king—another name for the mighty tarpon.

Tarpon are on tight!

September 28, 2025

The tarpon bite is still red hot! Chasing a silver king? Now’s the time—there are still a few months left before winter rolls in. Ever felt the thrill of hooking a giant that leaps and dances across the surface? It’s an experience you won’t forget.

Awesome trip with a long time client!

September 21, 2025

Fall is here and the bite is on fire! If you’ve been waiting to get out now is the time. Beautiful weather makes for an even more enjoyable time on the water.

Book the trip! It is well worth your time! Just bring your lunch and sunscreen and the crew will handle the rest! The equipment is top notch and the boat is outstanding! I was highly impressed with everything especially how the Captain responded back to our questions immediately! They will have your party ready to go and know where everything on the boat is! You won’t be disappointed!

Mornings get hot quick, but nights can get thunderstorms, so prepare accordingly. I haven’t fished any other time of year here to compare.

Palmetto Pat’s Fishing Charter

Fishing from Bradenton was off the chart, this place is a hidden gem. The fishing opportunities are out of this world and a generous community has ample support for any of your needs. The weather is like most of Florida and can or will change at any time so just go out and fish.
