Here we are at the end of September, and the best month of the year is only a few days away—October! I have so many memories of great October fishing, on both warm days and those that come with a cool blast, that there are simply too many to count. They are great memories of times when the fish were thick and plentiful and the tides allowed me to run wherever I wanted with ease. The bull tides and moon-driven water are coming, filling back up these skinny bays that have exposed a myriad of sandbars and shell beds throughout the summer. Places that have been difficult or impossible to reach suddenly have water again, and that opens up a whole lot of country for both the fish and fishermen. The fish know what is coming, and so do I. Solid bites on lures and bait are the stuff fishing stories are made of, and October has produced plenty of them for me over the years. Cooler temperatures, shorter days, more fish and hungry bites—you name it. There are so many things about October that make it one of my favorite times of the year to be on the Texas coast. Now is the time to make that call and get on my books for some bay fishing around Port O’Connor and Seadrift. I realize there are plenty of other things competing for our time this month. School is in full swing, sports are going strong, hunting seasons are getting started and everybody seems to have somewhere they need to be. But you owe it to yourself to get down to the coast soon and add a good day on the water to all those other things tugging on your belt. It won’t be long before we’ll be duck hunting as well, so fall is shaping up to be a well- deserved break from the summer heat. Don’t misread that—I love summer too, especially those fantastic days when we’re catching limits of speckled trout along with a mix of redfish and drum. There is nothing wrong with a summer morning when everything comes together and the fish cooperate. But I’m ready for fall! I’m ready for those first cool mornings, higher tides and that feeling you get when you step outside before daylight and realize the season is finally changing. October doesn’t mean the end of our fishing season down here. In a lot of ways, it feels like the beginning of another one.
