Fall is definitely upon us with these much cooler mornings and speaking of cool next week looks like we could get a little cold blast. The fish are getting into their fall patterns and seem to be enjoying the cooler water temps here in the Central Florida area. We still have a little extra water throughout Mosquito Lagoon and the backwaters of New Smyrna but it seems to be getting back to normal levels. Look for the bait cruising down the edge of the shorelines and on top of the bars.
Redfish , trout , jacks and snook will all be in and around this bait. Plugs , shrimp and live finger mullet have been working well . The flounder have also started to move into the shallows from offshore ,soft plastics or mud minnows pinned on a jig head always works well. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394

This past week has been trying to say the least. Hurricane Ian came to pay a visit to the state of Florida and definitely left his mark. It started on the west coast and worked its way across Central Florida dumping a astronomical amount of rain the whole time.
The bite has been a little bit of a challenge in the aftermath with a influx of fresh water flushing into the intracoastal by the gallons. It seems as though if you can find the bait and heavier salt concentration you will find the fish. Live bait and artificials have both been working well. We are transitioning into our fall time pattern over the next few weeks and it seems as the weather is starting to agree as well. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 |
