The Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission made the right decision to postpone the harvest of speckled trout, snook, and redfish. All are delicious, but it is was great seeing all three species caught in August. Overall, fishing was pretty solid. We found the key to catching fish in the hot summer is to find a pattern, and it became pretty predictable when the fish would and wouldn’t bite. For instance, you would think that the morning would be best, but there were two variables that had the most impact in August, being wind and tides. Pretty much, as long as there was some water movement we could have some success, and the various species caught included jacks, catfish, mangrove snapper, sheepshead, and Spanish mackerel.
