Change of Season, Is The Reason (It's About Fish)

This week’s blog is about a Southwest Florida fishing article for the month of October from the Pine Island Eagle. Redfish are a big topic during this month for inshore fishing. Look for schools of reds pushing water along bar edges throughout the inshore flats and inside the gulf passes. Snook will be transitioning from summer homes around the gulf beaches and make way towards their winter haunts throughout the inshore waters. The article goes on with some tips and regulations about snook catching. Gag grouper also make their move inshore during this time, while many anglers successfully target grouper in 30 to 40-foot depths in gulf waters while trolling large, lipped diving lures over the next couple months. This is a tantalizing summary for any fishermen thinking of making the move down to our slice of paradise: “October is a month that you can either target certain species of fish or be less specific and just get in the mix of a feeding frenzy and see what’s there. Often a host of different species are ganged up on the same bait pod, it’s common to catch a half dozen or more different species from one area. Local waters, both inshore and off, are loaded with bait schools of all sizes right now. As always, birds and feeding activity is the best way to find the action.” Take a look at the article linked below. It has much more information than what was just mentioned. We hope this article gets you excited about getting out there and enjoying the beautiful weather as cooling temperatures bring seasonal changes.
