Hi everyone! It has been a very long time since my last fishing report. We have bought a house and went through a hurricane in the last month. But we have been fishing in between. Fishing was pretty slow over the month of August and the beginning of September. We still put good number of fish in the boat, but the bottom fishing and inshore fishing was quite slow. Spanish Mackerel, Barracuda's, Sharks, and Goliath Grouper's were the stars of the show this past month. We fished this week after the hurricane, and everything has changed for the better!! There are tons of bait fish all over the reefs. The water temp has cooled 5 to 6 degrees and the migratory pelagic fish are making there way into the Tamp Bay area in full force. Fall is my favorite time to fish here. From here until December the fishing should be very consistent with lots of Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, False Albacore, the occasional Blackfin Tuna and Sailfish. The Gag Grouper will begin to move closer to shore and the bottom bite will be on fire!! This week on the close reefs we managed to put together a great day in 6 hours. We caught Spanish Mackerel every cast, nice size Mangrove Snapper, Gag and Red Grouper, Sharks and Barracuda. A little further offshore I have reports from other Captain's who have fished this week that there are Kingfish and Blackfin Tuna holding on the offshore wrecks. Can't wait to get out there later this week!! Call me to get out on some of this great fall fishing!!! Tight Lines Captain Tony
