First cold front of the year.
First cold front of the year.
Nov 1, 2025 New Smyrna Beach
Fished this week with Ryan and Jason and their wives as the first real cold fronts of fall rolled through. With morning temps dipping into the 50s, it made for a crisp, beautiful start to the day on the water. The bite started off slow for the mangrove snapper and trout โ€” those cooler temps had them a bit sluggish โ€” but the big redfish were more than ready to pull on the line. We managed to find some solid fish that gave everyone a fight to remember. Itโ€™s officially fall fishing season here on the coast, and while the fronts can make the conditions tricky, the reward is always worth it when those oversized reds show up in the spread.

Recently had a father and son on board who were in town on vacation. We hit the water as the sun was coming up and had a couple snook in the boat shortly there after. Great memories made with the family.

Charlie hit me up earlier in the week and said he hadnt been on the water in a while. Pucked him and a buddy up at the ramp right before sunrise and fished till just before it got hot. It was tough fishing with the bad wether just off shore but still got the job done.

Recently had Steve hit me up for some time on the water with his dad. We hit the water early before sunrise and got on the hunt. With all the wind durring the week and water levels being high, the first couple spots were a bust. Third times the charm. Big snook broke us off on a dock, doubled up on some big redfish shortly after that, and finished off the big fish with a tarpon kicker!!! Halfway through the morning we switched gears and went after dinner fish, trout and mangrove snappers for a fish fry later. Great day on the water.
