Fishing Report ?❄️
Cooler temps rolled in and the redfish clearly didn’t get the memo to slow down. Instead, they showed up hungry, aggressive, and with an obvious attitude problem. Schools of reds were tailing like they were auditioning for a nature documentary, and if you put a bait anywhere close, it was getting eaten—sometimes rudely.
The cooler weather had them cruising shallow, fired up, and making grown adults giggle when drag started screaming. Limit-style action, sore arms, and that “just one more cast” lie we all tell ourselves.
Fall vibes are officially here, the reds are on a mission, and the only thing cooling off faster than the weather is the cooler getting filled. If this keeps up, the fish might start charging us rent. ??
