THE Fish Captain Nick Shreves Whisperer Sept. Fishing Forecast TYBEE PIER FISHING The pier should be getting pretty good as soon as the mullet start to get thicker. Spanish Mackerel, Jacks, Trout, and Redfish are going to be the main species to target. This is my favorite time of year to bring a top water plug out to the pier. I fish the schools of mullet and wait for the predators to attack. INSHORE The water temps should be starting to fall soon and with it the fishing should begin to improve. The Redfish, Flounder and Speckled Sea Trout should all be feeding pretty heavy as fall begins. Shrimp are in the creeks, as are every type of bait fish you can think of. It’s time to really get out there and try everything you’ve got. Go get your line wet and bring some fresh fish home for dinner. 14 TYBEE BEACHCOMBER | SEPT 2017 Slot sized Redfish OFF SHORE The bottom fishing is picking up again as the water temp begins to drop and the baitfish return. Black Sea Bass, Triggerfish, Grouper, and many more will be putting on the feeding bags as the month passes and will only get better as time goes on. Amberjack are still thick and will hit almost any live bait you put in front of them. Kingfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo and Sailfish will all be out there. Some will be easier to find than others, but find the bait and you will find the fish. Give Big Fish Charters a call at 912-230-4625 and we will get you out on your own adventure. NEAR SHORE This time of year I target two main species - Spanish Mackerel, and then at the end of the month, big Bull Redfish. Fall is on its way. The baitfish and small newborn fish will all be flushing out of the creeks and rivers during the outgoing tides. This is when the bite can go nuts. The Spanish Mackerel will be waiting along the rips for all these fish to come by, and when they do it’s a feeding frenzy that will make anyone addicted to fishing. The Tarpon bite can be amazing during the Mullet run. This is all about timing and finding the large schools of Mullet. As the month goes on and the water continues to cool down, it will be time to catch those big old Bull Redfish. This has got to be one of my favorite to target. These fish can really pull some line and when you find the school it’s not uncommon to have double digit days. Spanish Mackerel Bull Redfish
