Late October and the month of November brought us a wide array of weather conditions to deal with. Now that the water temps have dropped off, we can expect some of the best fishing of the year. Trout have invaded area waters to fatten up for the winter, and have proven to be quite consistent from Palm Coast north into SE Georgia with some nice size fish in the mix. Live shrimp, fishbites plastics, and clouser minnows/decievers have been the top producers.
Reds are getting quite active around the lower tides and are beginning to school up in nice groups. Staying on the good schools has been the key for sucess. On the last round of big tides, we had excellent tailing redfish action but the fish are chasing shrimp in the grass now more so than crabs, so you have to get on them quickly to get your shot.
Flounder have been more hit or miss, but should show up thick anyday now. Bull reds are still being caught at the mouth of the St. Johns, along with an impressive bite of Black Drum from 5-50 pounds, as well as sheephead. Keeper size drum are in the creeks, and Capt. Charlie has been wacking them the past week. Charlie also got a nice snook this past weekend for his clients.
Book your trip now to get on some of the more consistent fishing of the year. Tight Lines.
