Atlantic Coast Inshore

November brings cooler weather and the opportunity to fish all day without having the sun affect you or the fish. Snook, redfish and trout will all be cooperating this month. I love to use the kayak to get to an area to wade.

Wade fishing gives you the opportunity to become even more stealthy by getting away of the noise of the kayak hull. Fishing mangrove lines and potholes using a DOA shrimp is my go to option. The shrimp skips well to reach the roots of the mangroves where fish may be lurking. When working the shrimp over potholes, toss the lure beyond the hole and work it out of the grass and into the sand. A few good twitches and a nice thump should come your way.

Atlantic Coast Offshore

It’s the time of year when the wind should always be on your mind. Northeast winds will start to push through making the surf a little rough. When you hit the beach and see that the surf is rough, take some time and watch the waves. Most of the time you can see there is a pattern of a few big sets and a calm period. Time it out right and stay dry. Fish will start to move in shallow as the cold fronts push through. Look to target mahi, kings and sails in the 80-120’ area. As always gogs will be your best bet for live bait. If you are on a budget grab your favorite plugs and frozen sardines. We have caught many sailfish, mahi and kings on dead sardines.
