Falll is approaching which means Redfish, Snook and Trout will be on the prowl on the flats and around Mangrove Islands in the backcountry in their search for food. We have had good success fishing in the early morning when daytime temps are cooler. Flyfishing is rated very good for the area at present with schools or Jack Crevalle, Seatrout, Ladyfish and Sailcat on the outer bar and Redfish and snook in the backcountry. Fly fishing the Mangroves has been very productive using an assortment of baitfish patterns , Gurglers and Tailing flies. We are also throwing to Tarpon in certain areas. Spinfishing is very good using topwater baits and jigs with D.O.A plastics….

Winds are 5-10 mph

Water Temp….78 to 82 degrees.

Fishing will only get better from here on into the winter months.

Good fishing and tight lines,
