In contrast to September’s freshwater bite, saltwater fishing was pretty awesome this month! It was still hard to know exactly what species to target on a daily basis, but we were able to get the rods bent one way or the other. Special thanks goes out to all of our September clients, as they were flexible on the fishing locations. To be specific, there has been another green algae bloom in the Indian and Banana rivers, so we had to have a plan B. Ponce Inlet, Port Canaveral, and Tampa Bay are all great alternatives to Titusville, but I hope the algae goes away soon. Fish caught in the month of September included some small snook, redfish, mangrove snapper, sheepshead, and a good amount of jacks. Also, there were a couple of charters where our guests simply wanted to visit the sand bars, dock-bar hop, and see the dolphins or manatees. Either way, it was great to be on the water!
Read MoreWe’d love to say that fishing in September was epically awesome, but in all reality it was a little tough. The inconsistent weather made the fish scatter more than usual. Fishing was very similar to August, as high water levels led us to troll frequently using crankbaits. As always, we still caught some largemouth bass on Texas-rigged worms on humps and ledges, but using shiners only led to a few hookups. In addition to largemouth bass, we caught some long-nose gar in the canals. Looking ahead, fishing should start to pickup next month when we begin to get some cooler weather. Some of the larger females will begin to move to shallow water for a fall spawn, even though most spawning occurs in the spring. Anyway, thank you for reading and we hope to see you on the water!
