"Our fall weather has arrived in Florida".  That phrase is a local joke here in the state.  Because, the only true change we really see is, water temperature starting to decrease because of all the rain.  Other than that, it's still pretty hot throughout the state.  The fish don't seem to mind at all, because they really enjoy our fall season and some cooler water.  The snook fishing has been just plain good inshore.  We are really starting to see our redfish stocks locally bounce back a bit.  Still not like 2016, but we are catching some while snook fishing shorelines throughout the bay.  It's a fun time to go fishing in South West Florida!

Nearshore fishing is getting going for fall.  Gag grouper, mackerel, kingfish, and Bonita along with the usual mixed bag of snapper are being caught around our nearshore reefs and ledges.  Captain Matt Glass fished a group last week out of Palm Island Resort, and produced some great eating fish on a half day trip.  It's a fun time to go fishing in South West Florida!
