Scalloping season has slowed down to a simmer. However the Redfish bite continues to strengthen . They are schooling up and are on the bite . I would say the bite will stay strong into September . September is when we will also see the trout begin to return from offshore. We of course are catching a few still along with our redfish . This time of year the near shore rocks are full of excitement. With every drop of a shrimp there is a pull on the line. Generally catching mangrove snapper and grunts. Btw I consider some of the best table fare out there. The fall season is booking fast so now is the time to get on the schedule for one of my favorite times of the year to fish here on the nature coast . Capt David Maki Finntastick charters

The bite is good . We have been working between these cold fronts and tide conditions. The usual suspects are moving a bit more to the inside. We are also starting to pick up a few sheepshead and black drum in the river. Christmas week is starting to book up' so don't lose your opportunity to experience our nature coast. Capt.

Our trout bite has been steady were seeing a few s with the latest cold fronts. Whowever were still getting the job done . We have also had a somewhat steady redfish bite on the incoming tide . We have had mostly outgoing tide to work with the last 2 weeks . There are still plenty if fish to catch even with the cooling waters
