Inshore

The mullet run is upon us. Snook, tarpon, redfish and trout will all be cooperating this month. Matching the hatch will be your best bet during this time. Super spooks, D.O.A. Bait Busters and anything that has the shape of a mullet will be the go to baits. With the presence of so much bait, the thought then goes to how do I get my bait to be hit. I like trying to go with color that stands out in the pack. Try dark or bright colors to get the attention away from the group of bait.  Focus your cast on the edges of the mullet schools and you will do well.

Offshore

The shallow fall dolphin run should start to occur this month. Look for them to start to move into the more attainable depths from 100 to 250 feet of water. Another thing to get excited about is the snapper bite. Look to target mutton snapper and yellowtail snapper in 60 to 100 feet of water. I love using mullet this time of year for both bottom fishing and trolling. It is readily available and a great hardy bait to keep alive on your kayak.

See you on the water!
