With our water temps cooling down, and the tremendous amounts of bait pushing into the beach, October kicks off our nearshore fall bite like no other time of the year. The Spanish Mackerel, Blue fish, bull drum, and King Mackerel will make a huge showing right off the beach. Near shore reef, wrecks, and ledges will set up perfectly for all anglers from the biggest boats to the smallest when the weather allows. Slow trolling live pogies and blue fish will produce some of the most dynamic and explosive kingmackerel bites that only our fall bite will produce. Fishing the bottom with heavy Carolina rigs with live pogies or croakers while drifting in the big pods of pogies will tie you into the hard pulling line ripping bull reds that are already showing up. Sight casting 1-2 oz metal jigs into the schooling Spanish and bluefish is one of the favorites to produce lots of action and great table fare within rock throwing distance of the sand. Being what I refer to as the magical month (October) it’s a great time to be out here. Watch the pier reports as they will be catching kings and Spanish regularly. When the weather settles, and that opportunity allows, don’t miss the chance to hit the near shore beach areas to enjoy the best part of our year here in theSouth Brunswick area. As always stay safe and tight lines.
