With the Fall weather taking hold and hints of winter here and there the fishing has remained good with mixed bags of Red's, Snook, Trout, Mangrove Snapper, Jacks, Lady Fish and the occasional Catfish that we just can't seem to get away from.

For the past few weeks with the water temperatures dropping several things have taken place. The water levels have lowered to about normal, the water clarity has improved considerably and.................... The Trout bite has been great. Friday's Charter was over 100 fish in 2 1/2 hours of fishing. Monday's about the same and the weeks before was very similar. Much bigger fish all on artificial and the bite is a couple hours into the morning so no need for getting out at the crack of dawn. What has also been going on is the sight fishing for reds has been excellent with the excellent water clarity but along with that comes the fish getting skiddish. Again, artificial's are the ticket.

Fished the upper Mosquito Lagoon with a charter yesterday, while a bit windy it proved productive. Caught Red Fish, Snook and Trout mostly on live shrimp with the exception of the trout which came on Gulp. Right now the Black Drum are lit up on the Indian River with the Reds getting hot. Still some nice Trout to be had with water temps in the mid 70's.
