Randy Peart (8) is fishing Strike King Red Fish Magic spinner baits close to the shore and Gulp Shrimp 18" under a Cajun Thunder popping cork on the flats. Bring your cast net and net up some live bait for the Reds, while the Silver Trout will enjoy a bit of Shrimp or piece of cut bait. If you're looking for Bull Reds, I suggest head for the Cut, Silver Trout should be on the oyster flats just West of the low rise in the SGI bridge and for Speckled Trout fish the shorelines and flats. "In the bay, as the water cleans up and the temperature goes down things will be getting back to normal fall patterns which means good fishing most everywhere. The sort of good news is there is almost no chance of rain but we really could use some as we got nothing from Ian. 6 feet is at 9 AM with the high at 3:47 running 1.8 feet. 8 feet followed by an afternoon high of 1.8 feet at 2:48PM on Saturday ,while Sunday's morning low of. Tides at the Cut show an 8:30 AM low tide of. Just FISH!!"Ĭaptain Russ Knapp (85) reports, “Well, the weather forecast for the weekend is mixed with Saturday the best day having seas forecast at 2 feet and light 5 to 10 knot north winds while Sunday has seas 2 to 3 feet and NE winds 10 to 15 knots. Have some Fall fun enjoying tugs on the line while boating safely. Don't flirt with danger when on the Big Pond. "Wherever the boat may go these next few days, wear an auto-inflatable PFD. Sadly, when gag season closes December 31st, it will remain closed next year until September 1, 2023, so catch 'em up now. Remember, gags, pinched tail, must be at least 24 inches, with only two per angler in the legal limit. Slow trolling Rapala CDMag14s, Yo-zuri 3-D Deep Diving Crystal Minnows and Mann's Stretch 15s will snooker more than a few legal shallow water gags. From now till December 31st when gag season will close for recreational anglers in Florida is the time to get after the gags. Jigging the rock piles is also beginning to give up some fine flounder. Slow trolling season has arrived for those anglers like me that aren't live bait anglers when it comes to targeting the gags. "Outside, Ma Nature has finally helped to get the gags sliding in towards the shallow water rock piles in 12' to 18' depths along the coast, from St.
Spoons worked on the edges of the bars are eliciting slams from some fine reds as well. Also, take time to work those softbaits like the five inch jerk shads and subsurface plugs like the MirroDines and Rip-n-Slash 70s in the same territory where mullet schools are feeding. Topwater plugging, utilizing One Knockers, Skitterwalks, Super Spooks, Moonwalkers and Top Dogs in bone patterns, has been producing quite well now that the skinny water temps are in the low 70s. "If targeting the reds or trout, or both, those creek mouth drains along with the nearby bars that are holding actively feeding schools of mullet are great spots to locate some really quality fish. Expect those morning low tides to be somewhat more pronounced Sunday morning than the tide charts reflect given slightly increased northeast winds associated with the weak cold front easing across Apalachee Bay. "Over these next three days, those pre-full moon low tides will be occurring prior to sunrise Friday, then easing up a little beyond sunrise the next to couple of following mornings. Sight fishing the reds has been producing. With the absence of rain these last few weeks, skinny water clarity and salinity levels have greatly improved. That cooler water has helped stimulate the bite of all the species normally targeted in the Big Bend this time of year. "One good thing since Ian passed has been the cool overnight air temps that have accelerated a much welcomed drop in water temps into the low 70s.
With a weak, dry cold front sliding towards the waters of the Big Bend by Sunday morning, Friday and Saturday are shaping up to be the best shots for the most enjoyable fishing day(s), either inside chasing reds and/or trout, or outside targeting the gags, though Sunday shouldn't be too bad either, just a bit more wind creating 2 to 3 foot seas outside, not to the liking of small boat anglers. Otto Hough (Facebook says, ”Well, at least Ma Nature provided one really good day this past weekend much to the delight of anglers fishing skinny or deep.
