This week’s fishing has been all about adapting to changing conditions. With recent heavy rains, the water is pretty stained, but it’s steadily clearing up. Large redfish are being pulled from around the inlets and bridges, especially on live finger mullet. I recently got out with Saint Augustine Sandman for a fun Halloween special on his YouTube channel, where I caught a couple of redfish on topwater. We even dressed up in costumes—definitely an episode worth watching!
The black drum bite has been solid, with good catches reported on live and fresh dead shrimp. Meanwhile, the trout action is heating up as we move further into fall. Just remember, flounder season remains closed, so be mindful of that while fishing. Mangrove snapper are still around, but they won’t be for much longer as the waters cool.
Keep an eye on the conditions as they improve, and happy fishing!
