Buying the land will not stop discharges in the next 30 years. Buying the land will not stop algae blooms. Buying the land will not stop the loss of oyster beds or sea grass, but all this hype over an anticipated weather event has brought overwhelming national attention to our state. If we allow water to be discharged to the Everglades as is presently suggested by the Buy the Land folks, HABs will flow through those gates just as they do east and west now. And why should we expect anything different?Guest ColumnistSep 8th, 2016
Bottom fish, especially snapper and grouper, will continue to be a main focus of offshore grocery getters, as many species will begin to post up on near shore reefs in 50 to 80 feet of water. Large schools of vermilion snapper will be found on area reefs, as they continue to spawn this month.Capt. Rocky CarbiaSep 6th, 2016

This is the time to catch a lot of snook, tarpon, big jacks, and big sharks. Look for the bait and you will find the fish. You will see tarpon and snook jumping out of the water getting ready for winter by filling up on these mullet.Capt. Chris SharpSep 1st, 2016
A drop in barometric pressure before a storm will be an additional bonus to this epic fall fishing. Snook season is open (on September 1) and the scouting trips indicate a good bite. Plenty of snook are being caught over the last couple weeks from the inlet to the Roosevelt Bridge.Capt. John YoungSep 1st, 2016
September has personally always been a great month for wahoo. Concentrate on live baiting large goggle eyes deeper in the water column. The best time of the month will be a few days before and after the full moon.Brian NelliSep 1st, 2016
As my jig was sent down on my first drop all I could think about was that stupid fish I came here for. My jig hit the bottom and I started to work it to the top. Before I could get more than a few turns of the handle in, I had a fish on.Christina WeberSep 1st, 2016
September’s highlights are based around bottom spots, nearshore reefs and wrecks, high-speed trolling the edge for wahoo, and long runs out to the deep in search of dolphin. Early morning wahoo action can be expected through September, especially around the full moon.Capt. Scott FawcettAug 30th, 2016
