It’s that time of year again — the ol’ Florida wardrobe shuffle. We’re layering up like it’s Alaska at sunrise and shedding it all by lunchtime when it feels like summer again. The bite’s been just as wild as the weather — redfish schooling tight, trout snapping, and flounder still pretending to be doormats. Mornings are crisp, fish are fired up, and by midday everyone’s sunburned and wondering where their hoodie went. - Captain Austin

The fish must’ve read the calendar because they’ve been acting like it’s Thanksgiving already — feeding on anything that moves. Reds are thick, trout are snappy, and the flounder are still doing their best to trip everyone up. Weather’s been perfect: cool mornings, sunny afternoons, and just enough breeze to send a hat overboard or two (RIP to the brave ones). Clients have been reeling ‘em in faster than I can say “don’t high-stick it!” - Captain Austin

November showed up cooler than a redfish’s belly in the shallows, and the bite’s been hotter than a mullet in a bait ball. Reds are schooling up thick, trout are chewing like they missed breakfast, and flounder are stacking up like pancakes at Waffle House. Weather’s been perfect — light winds, cool mornings, and just enough sun to make you forget you’re supposed to be at work. Casting accuracy this week? About a 5 out of 10, but the fish didn’t seem to care. - Captain Austin
