With fall arriving the fish are starting to fall patterns. There is still plenty of baitfish around until the weather gets cooler.

Last week I fished a couple days with friends and clients. On the right tides we caught and released a dozen Snook up to 32 inches. We also caught a few Redfish and Flounder, as well as Snapper and Sea Trout, Gag Grouper and small Goliath Grouper. The fall migration of Spanish Mackerel, Kingfish and Tripletail are coming soon.
