Kingfish, thatâs what I am talking about! This is the time of year for the kings to be moving in close to shore for the bait fish in the water. Itâs time to get the stinger rigs ready and plenty of wire leaders. Make sure your reels have plenty of line on them, if not, replace it because you never can tell when that 60lb king is going to take the bait. Brevard - Capt Douglas KaskaOct 2nd, 2015
Thank goodness for fall. I always get a little pep in my step this time of year, and itâs not for the reason most Floridians would think.Capt. AlexOct 2nd, 2015
The heat did me in again this summer but, I still got to the beach on several mornings. Early and late was the tactic during September and it produced a snook dinner or two. Live mullet and plugs caught snook and the standard pompano rig caught whiting and croakers. Brevard - John DetmerOct 2nd, 2015
Snook season has been good despite the excessive rain and dirty water we have had this summer. October is a great month for several inshore species. Snook, redfish, trout, tarpon, jacks sharks are all inshore, in the inlet and near shore along the beaches.Brevard - Capt Glyn AustinOct 2nd, 2015
The summer shrimping season is winding down (Daytona is dead). This just means to lower your expectations but donât retire your nets. South Daytona fell apart in August after Central Florida was hit with several days of torrential rains. The shrimp that was caught in Flagler were bait size and the juice has not been worth the squeeze. However, Central Floridians make lemonade by heading further North to both Welaka and Paletka mopping up 5 gallon buckets in record time (under 3 hours, 2 anglers). The popular places being Green Cove City pier, East side of Turkey Island (Welaka) and Palatka (Condoâs). Anglers are reporting going home with solid mediums (after culling out smalls) with 20% of large sizes mixed in. Welaka averaging 15 â 30 a pull, and Condoâs averaging 50 -60 a pull during the 20 minute slack tide. The key thing I am hearing is the shrimp have been consistently pushing off the bottom at SLACK tide at the Condoâs. Where are these Condoâs? From Deland, take US 17 North past Crescent City to Pomonda Park, left at stoplight on to 308-B (takes you to ramp). Head South from ramp 1 mile to the Condoâs. The drive may be 2 hours or less, but well worth the trip! Melbourne still reporting âheartâ, meaning they invest a lot of time and effort and go home with a shrimp cocktail for one. We are noting anglers are pulling out their winter shrimp gear anticipatingBrevard - Capt LeenogaOct 1st, 2015
Island edges and channel drop-offs near the tip of Newfound harbor, The Satellite Beach Canals, and the 1000 Island area of Cocoa Beach are worth investigating this month. Snook, speckled trout and redfish can ambush fingerling mullet that are migrating through this area throughout the day. Saltwater Assassin 4-inch sea shad tails or 5-inch jerk baits rigged on a weedless weighted worm hook will be great mullet imitations to use in these areas. Live fingerling mullet or cut mullet will usually work when these fish donât feel like chasing lures.captjimrossOct 1st, 2015
October is a great month to fish inside and outside of Port Canaveral. The Fall mullet run is in full swing along the beaches outside of the Port so anglers can target Bluefish, Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, Tripletail, Jacks, and Flounder Just to name a few. These species will be following the schools of mullet southward along the beaches as they head for their wintering grounds to our south. Look for baitfish âshoweringâ as they run from these predators when the action heats up in the surf zone. captjimrossOct 1st, 2015
