IN THIS WEEK’S FORECAST…
SPACE B.O.I. FORECAST
OFFSHORE
INSHORE
BEACH
WEATHER OVERVIEW: Well, the wind is going to be flat out blowing this week! As we move into fall we will begin to experience the weather patterns changing. We have had a nice run over the summer of lower winds which have provided many opportunities for anglers to target multiple species. Our offshore and nearshore fisheries, which are highly predicated on the weather, offered up some great catches such as yellowfin tuna on the “otherside” and deep dropping for golden tilefish & yellow edge grouper. The kingfish bite on our reefs has been pretty consistent throughout most of the summer and we had a really nice run of tarpon in the lagoons as well as along our beaches. Currently the fall mullet run is in full swing, unfortunately, we will not be able to get out this week to take advantage of it due to the high easterly wind and rough seas. Next week is looking much better, though. Even though transitioning into fall typically means more windy days, it also brings a nice reprieve from the brutally hot temperatures of summer. As the overall weather and water temperatures cool down, the fishing should continue to heat up!
