NEAR SHORE Fall is here and so are the Redfish. They are out in full force and eating everything they can find. You will be able to find them on every reef, all the way up to the surf. There are a few ways to fish for these fun fighting fish. Black Sea Bass are around and getting better every day. Plenty of other fish to catch while bottom fishing. This includes Snapper, Triggerfish, Porgies, Grouper and many other great eating species. The trolling bite is still here for a little while longer so those who want to catch those Spanish and King Mackerel, they are still around don’t give up yet. TYBEE BEACHCOMBER | OCT 2017 17 THE Fish Captain Nick Shreves Whisperer Oct. Fishing Forecast TYBEE PIER FISHING As fall arrives the water temperature begins to drop and the fishing picks back up. All the fish are going to start migrating and they eat a lot. The biggest fish to be found on the pier this time of year is going to be the Bull Redfish. These fish are not picky, they are just hungry. Cut Mullet, Pogies, and Whiting are all great baits. Other fish that could be caught are Whiting, Sheepshead, Black Drum and, during the first part of the month, a Spanish Mackerel or two. INSHORE Trout, Redfish, and Flounder can all be caught in better numbers than the past few months. The Shrimp are in the creeks and with the cooler water the fish are starting to feed. As the month goes on the bite will only get better. For those fishing inshore fishing a cork rig with a live shrimp you should do pretty well. When you find the fish try throwing an artificial and save the live bait for the next spot. The Sheepshead bite should pick up inshore as well. Fiddler crabs are the bait of choice. Fishing oyster racks pilings and any type of structure is a good bet for these great eating fish. OFF SHORE The bottom fishing is great out deep. Black Sea Bass, Triggerfish, Amberjack, Snapper, Grouper, Grunts and there are so many more. Make sure you have squid and cut fish for bait and you should have a great day. The top water bite has been slow and we are all hoping it will pick up soon. Give Big Fish Charters a call at 912-230-4625 and we will get you out on your own adventure.
