The Redfish fishing is really starting to heat up as the water starts to cool down! October and November is my favorite time of the year on our flats. The water is cooler, allowing the fish to be more active, and the pressure is less due to football, hunting, and school. This is a great time to catch a fish on the fly or on lures.
Small Tarpon have been showing up in good numbers the past couple of weeks as they prepare to move south for the winter. Even though our days are still warm, I can see the fall changes starting to occur with baitfish schooling up, and fish feeding well.
We caught some nice Redfish the past few weeks despite the high water we have been experiencing. Our high water is due to a combination of slow northerly flow from the Gulf Stream, an earlier-than-normal onset of the autumn west winds, and the normally higher waters we see around the equinox. Compound the high water with some dirty water, and sight fishing has been hard. However, if you keep at it with either lures or bait, you will likely be rewarded with some nice fish. And the water will clear up in the next couple of weeks.
