Trip Summary

The last week had provided world class sheepshead fishing! Great weather, low winds and an impending low pressure event had fishing incredible! Catching as few or as many fish as desired within the first few hours of the trips near the tide changes was the key. With a good catch of black drum and redfish to go with them. Expect cobia fishing to fire up as the water temperature cools offshore for the 6 and 8 hour offshore trips. Try the 10 hour for epic offshore meat haul action. Otherwise the 4/6 hour inshore both on the Pair and Hewes have been action packed!

It's finally here folks! Cool weather that is. With that comes epic numbers of sheepshead, redfish and trout! Lots of mangrove snappers around as well. Wind has kept us inshore for the last month or so but I have a handful of offshore trips scheduled for November and the forecast looks great after next weekend. For a for sure shot at some great fishing a 4-8 hour inshore charter is the trip of choice. Most of the sheepshead we are seeing are coming from the inlet rocks. While sometimes calm they can get rough. But never fear there is plenty else to do when it gets that way. As we approach middle of winter the fishing for light tackle shallow water reds heats up. I expect numbers of fish to reach a peak around November full moon at the end of the month. While windows get shorter for the bite the fish tend to go nutso when the tide does get right. Send me a message on FishingBooker to get look at prime tides and days!

With the first hurricane sweeping across Florida it has started the signal for some awesome Inshore action. Even with record high water temperatures we are seeing a load of sheepshead. These guys provide stellar table faire on quick inshore runs around slack tides and rocks. That's of course after you master the tricky bites! On some days we are seeing pods of mullet starting their annual winter migration. This is great news for folks looking for lots of rod bending drag screaming action over take home fish. Tarpon from size Xtra-Small like the one pictured to over a 100 Pounds have been fought this week. on top of lots of Redfish, Snook, Jacks and many more. It is key to be ready for a challenge pulling the fish away from the sharks, as the water cools I expect them to get outta town.
