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,
Menhaden, and Whiting are all great baits. Other fish that can be caught
are Whiting, Sheepshead, and 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 rack
pilings and any type of structure is a good bet for these great eating fish.
NEAR SHORE
Fall is here and so are the Redfish and they are out in full force, 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 include 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.
OFFSHORE
The bottom fishing is great out deep for Black Sea Bass, Triggerfish,
Amberjack, Snapper, Grouper, Grunts and 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.
