[dropcap]N[/dropcap]ovember was well above average with a red hot fish bite. The bull redfish are here and here in numbers. Our best trip in November was a charter with two of our boats fishing side by side with one group. We caught and released over 50 bull redfish weighing between 17 and 30 pounds on a 4 hour charter. Some were caught by trolling and some were caught by casting curly tail jigs on light spinning tackle. This fishing for bull redfish should be great in December and through early Spring. We should also continue to catch some big king mackerel along with Spanish mackerel though late fall and early winter. Remember, a 4 hour charter is all you need to target winter redfish.
Offshore fishing should be good for amberjack, vermillion snapper, white snapper, scamp grouper and red grouper in December. A 10 hour charter is recommended to target offshore species. We can have warm days and cool days in December. The typical north wind should provide nice calm seas nearshore where we fish for redfish and kings. Find a boat and enjoy some red hot December fishing.
