Nov. Fishing Forecast
TYBEE PIER
The pier action will continue this month, but as the water temperature
drops, the fishing will slow down. Whiting and Bull Redfish should be
around the pier most days till the water hits about 60 degrees. You may
also have a chance at catching Bluefish, Speckled Sea Trout or Black Drum
using live Shrimp. Just remember, you don’t know if you don’t go.

INSHORE
The bite really started to pick up in October and the Speckled Sea Trout
should be on fire for most of this month. Most of the Flounder will be finding
their way offshore. The Redfish will still be holding up in the shallow water
to avoid predators like Dolphins. For all these fish, live mud Minnows and
Shrimp work great. Plenty of action can be had on artifices. Sheepshead
will be holding around docks, bridges and any other type of structure they
can find (less current). Fiddler Crabs on a Carolina rig with a small sharp
hook is my favorite way to get these sneaky fish. Make sure you have lots
of Fiddler Crabs. I never go without a hundred per person for the day.
NEARSHORE
Well, its migration season again and the fish are heading south. This
time of year can be amazing when it comes to fish like King and Spanish
Mackerel. Drone spoons fished throughout the water column will produce
if you find the school of fish. Cobia can also be found as they head south.
One day you may catch and the next day nothing. These fish are of the
move chasing bait, so you need to do the same. Bottom fishing is picking
up as the water temperature drops and the Black Sea Bass move back in.
The Bull Redfish will be all over the reefs, as well as eating everything that
they can fit in their mouth.
OFFSHORE
The water is still warm out here and the fishing is great. Bottom bite
will produce fish every time you drop your bait down on the ledges and
structures. Make sure you have lots of bait, such as Squid, Mackerel, or
Sardines. Don’t be afraid to drop a big Grouper bait down; only a couple
months before it closes. Just like nearshore, the Cobia, Kings, Wahoo and
Tuna are all on the move and chasing bait, so find a school of bait and you
never know what you can catch trolling right now.
