November 2023 – Freshwater

The weather this month has been wonderful! As these cool fronts came through, the water temperature dipped to about 67 degrees. This has led to beautifully clear water which helps to see eel grass, hydrilla, and nitella. Although eel grass and hydrilla do hold fish, we found most of our fish in the 7-12 ft nitella next to ledges. Some years the crappie bite has already turned on, but it seems the temperatures are just a little too warm so far. On the flip side, this has kept the largemouth bass bite consistently good on both live bait and artificial lures. Some other species mixed in this month included some catfish, bowfin, and chain pickerel. On a personal note, we wish you all the best during this holiday season and we look forward to seeing you on the water!

November 2023 – Saltwater

First off, thank you to all my clients that braved some of the cooler mornings this month. Inshore on the Gulf side, we were able to stay out of the wind and still catch a variety of species due to Tierre Verde, islands, and the leeward side of bridges. In my opinion, the redfish and speckled trout bite seemed tougher than usual, while the mangrove snapper bite was on fire! Inshore on the Atlantic side, we found similar results from fishing the Haulover Canal, Max Brewer Bridge, bird island, and the NASA Causeway. Offshore off both coast, it was all about picking good weather days with calm seas. With several species out of season, this was a great time of year to have fun and practice catch and release. Only a few small grouper, snapper, black sea bass, porgy, and grunts were caught. We look forward to some better updates in December as the forecast is looking better in the coming weeks. We hope to see you on the water!
