Finally cooler water temps and bait schools, will mean fish migrating patterns. Typically this time of year find the bait = find the fish. Beaches, Nearshore reefs, and natural bottom are piling up with bait.

You don’t have to go too far to find some quality fish. The king fish an and Spanish mackerel are in full swing. They’re tearing through the bait schools along with a few Bonita schools.

The birds are a good indicator of where these schools are. Our nearshore reefs have been holding small schools of cobia. Keep the live bait going and they will show up.

We have also now entered into a few other species, that should also be on the move. Triple tail around the crab buoys and channel markers are a great way to put food on the table. Sheepshead are also getting ready for their annual spawn. Dropping water temps it may be early this year.

Last but not least schools of redfish inshore and offshore have deags screaming as well. Pitching live shrimp under docks will also produce some quality redfish. Stay tuned follow up coming in December.
