Capt. Rick Grassett's Fishing Forcast for September 2008
September is a top month to catch a slam in southwest Florida. Snook will be found in the surf and close to passes, reds will school up on shallow flats, tarpon will feed in bays and estuaries and trout will be found in skinny water at dawn, Spanish mackerel and more. Fishing before dawn or early in the morning will be the most productive.
Snook season reopens on September 1. Regulations have changed several times in the last few years. Snoo0k now have a bag limit of one per day per angler between 28" and 33" on Florida's west coast. Prime locations to find them will be in the surf and around lighted docks and bridges close to passes.
This is a great month for catching quality fish. You might have an opportunity for a "bull" redfish, a large tarpon or snook and a "gator" trout. Fish early in the day for the best action, I often begin my trips at 4 or 5am and are done before noon. Whatever you choose to do, Remember to always limit your kill, don't kill your limit!
