Fall Fishing in South Florida: Inshore Action You Don’t Want to Miss There’s something special about fall in South Florida. The mornings are a little cooler, the skies are painted with golden sunrises, and for anglers, it’s one of the best times of the year to hit the water. The inshore bite is absolutely on fire right now — and if you love light-tackle fishing, this is your season to shine. Out in the finger channels, the action has been nonstop. Mutton snappers, groupers, mangrove snappers, and yellow jacks are stacking up and feeding aggressively. Every drop or cast feels like it could be the next big bite. The best part? The pilchards — our go-to baitfish — have been thick and easy to catch, which means less time searching for bait and more time fighting fish. Once you start live-chumming with those pilchards, get ready for a show. The mutton snappers have been doing cartwheels out of the water, practically racing each other to grab the next free meal. It’s an incredible sight — watching a hungry snapper launch itself after the very bait you just tossed. And it’s not just the main targets biting. In between the snappers and groupers, you’ll hook into all kinds of surprise catches — a mixed bag that keeps every trip exciting. The light tackle makes it even better, letting you feel every head shake and surge, turning each fight into an adventure.
