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 “showering” as they run from these predators when the action heats up in the surf zone.
The best areas are usually around the tip of the Cape, and at the jetties at Port Canaveral. In these areas you may also see some king mackerel and sharks joining in on the festivities. Whether you’re standing on the beach or fishing from a boat, you should find plenty of hungry fish once you find the schools of bait. Rapala diving plugs, Krocodile spoons, and HookUp jigs tipped with a lively fingerling mullet are productive lures and baitfish to cast in and around the feeding activity.
