Red October is in full swing. Red fish bite has been great.  I have been focusing on schools of mullet during low tide around grass flats and oyster bars. There are schools of reds mixed in and following those mullet. Live chumming is key. There are plenty of pilchards and greenies on the beaches and around the passes. When you find the fish, start throwing handfuls of live bait…make sure to squeeze a few to really turn the bite on. 2/0 circle hooks and 30lb leader with a split shot have been working great. Add a popping cork if you need a little more distance on your cast. On higher tides use the same methods, focusing on mangrove shorelines; looking for those mullet and reds. A lot of snook are also around. They are starting to move into the creeks and rivers. You’ll have to fish through the small ones to find that trophy you’re looking for. Live pilchards are also the choice bait for snook right now, preferably free lined or under a popping cork. Great trips this week, with some of the reds over 36 inches. The highlight of the week was a 4 foot saw fish that we caught and released. Sawfish are very rare and still on the endangered species list. Book a trip today!
