Inshore Bite Remains Strong

Really awesome fishing this week! From Bull redfish and speckled trout to juvenile tarpon and large black drum the inshore bite remains strong!

This week the fishing couldn’t have been much better. We’re finally starting to see lots of small finger mullet on the flats and plenty of predators lingering close behind. The early mornings prove to be the best bet working the mullet pods. Top water plugs and small swimbaits have been producing quite the variety of species, from redfish and trout to some nice tarpon.

As the sun rises and and the artificial bite slows the live and dead bait bite has been the way to go. Start shallow early and continue to work deeper edges as the sun rises higher in the sky. This should continue to be a good pattern until we start to see some more consistent, cooler weather. As the cooler weather approaches expect to see less fish on the flats early in the morning, and less tarpon and snook as they make their moves into their winter holes. Typically, after we get a few fronts, sleeping in a little isn’t a bad idea. The hours between 8:00am – 12:00pm tend to be the best bite for me.

As always try to practice catch and release as much as possible!
