Trip Summary

October and November bring some fall temperatures and the fishing is at its best. We target all inshore species this time of year including red drum, black drum, speckled trout, flounder and sheepshead. Just be sure to let me know what type of fishing your group would prefer. We fish mostly live bait in the fall(shrimp, mullet) but can also accommodate anglers wanting to throw artificials. Book your October and November trip for a great day on the water.
