As these cool fronts came through, the inshore water temperature dipped to about 70 degrees, and the offshore temperature is 67 degrees. Inshore, the speckled trout bite has been awesome using a popping cork with a DOA or live shrimp. Even though the popping cork method was productive for trout or ladyfish, many times we had to switch to greenbacks, pilchards, crabs, or small pinfish for the black drum, redfish, and snook. Offshore, with the gag grouper season ending today, we have targeted those grouper with moderate success on the few calm days. We did not troll this month, as the focus was on snapper and grouper. Other species caught included sharks, porgy, grunts, and bonitos. On a personal note, we wish you all a great holiday season and we look forward to seeing you on the water!
