The cooler weather is the best time of year to catch Speckled Seatrout. Redfish, sheepshead and blackdrum (puppy drum) are plentiful as well! You wont see as many charter Captains with alot of bookings because it is the slow season… however it is my Favorite time to go fishing with my family and friends as well as a few fishing charters and a handfull of regular Clients! I personally like to fish for Trout with an artificial lure and use the trolling motor to keep the boat moving and cast! Covering alot of ground and always introducing the lire to a fish that hasn’t seen it yet! I always feel like once you cast in the same spot a dozen time whatever is there youd have cuaght on the first few cast! If he’s there he’s gonna EAT IT!? (i call everthing oit there “he”?)

Theres always a good chance to land a few of these species year round! As the warmer weather moves in the bite has changed as well, where alot of fast moving fish are overtaking and dominating key spots along the rivers edge and the inlets! Typically bluefish, ladyfish, Spanish Mackerel, little nibblers and Sharks!!!

Tarpon are also found along the eastern Atlantic coast as well as the African coast, throughout Southeast Asia, Japan, Tahiti, and Australia. Both species are found in both marine and freshwater habitats, usually ascending rivers to access freshwater marshes. They are able to survive in brackish water. Due to their swim bladders, which they use primarily to breathe. They are also able to rise to the surface and take gulps of air, which gives them a short burst of energy. The habitats of tarpons vary greatly with their developmental stages, salt marshes, tidal pools, creeks, and rivers. Their habitats are characteristically warm, shallow, dark bodies of water with sandy mud bottoms. Tarpons commonly ascend rivers into fresh water. As they progress from the juvenile stage to adulthood

Speckled trout, is a common estuarine fish found in the southern United States along coasts of Gulf of Mexico and the coastal Atlantic Ocean from Maryland to Florida. While most of these fish are caught on shallow, grassy flats, spotted seatrout reside in virtually any inshore waters, from the surf of outside islands to far up coastal rivers, where they often come for shelter during cold weather. Contrary to its name, the spotted seatrout is not a member of the trout family (Salmonidae), but of the drum family (Sciaenidae). It is popular for recreational fishing. Adults reach 19-37 inches in length and 3-17 pounds in weight.
