SUWANNEE RIVER/CEDAR KEY

Hey there folks,
Hope everyone is enjoying a little cooler weather as the fall is quickly approaching.
Unlike the weather, the fishing is heating up this time of year. With the water temperature cooling some, the fish are becoming more active.
The redfish bite will be as good as it gets in our area this month. My go to rig with my clients is cut mullet fished right on the bottom. I use a simple knocker rig that is made up of a 4/0 circle hook and a 3/8oz egg sinker. I also use a 30lb leader tide to my 20lb braided line. Using a leader will help you to not get cut off as much on the oysters while fishing on the bottom.
Fresh mullet makes a huge difference on getting bit so get a castnet and learn how to use it in the off season.
The trout will also start firing up this month and the big girls will start feeding strong on the 3’-5’ grass flats. The B52 Super Sounder is by far my favorite cork and in my opinion it makes the best sound on the market. I use a 30lb leader rigged beneath it with a Saltwater Assassin Sea Shad tail rigged on a 1/8 Saltwater Assassin or Jim’s jigs jig head. Having a wide gap hook is crucial to keeping a fish hooked. Both of these jig heads have a good one.
I rigged the jig about 20”-24” beneath the cork unless the water is shallower that two feet.
Well folks a hope y’all get out on the water and enjoy what good has made for us.
