SEASONS WE HAVE ON FLORIDA'S GULF COAST

---

Summer is when you have the best of everything going on. The big Tarpon are still here, the redfish are happy and the snook are eating everything they can! On our guided fishing charters, you can skip baits under the mangrove lines and fish drop offs as fish look for cooler water. The early morning topwater bit is absolutely electric with some major blowups. This is also a great time of year for fishing dock lights at night. Let our fishing guides take you out!

Morning trips are best in July and August, the heat can get high quick.

 Fall is an exciting time because everything is eating as much as possible before the big temperature drop comes. Some of these fish mature as fall hits and get ready to move offshore. On our guided fishing trips we target the redfish as they start to school up and the big snook come out on the flats looking for the bait

.

As a fishing guide I pay a lot of attention to wind direction and approaching cold fronts this time of year to maximize the bite!

Yes, it actually gets cold here in Florida, or at least cold for us. The nice thing is that water become even clearer, there is less boat traffic and the fish school up. So, this gives us an advantage of being able to find large schools of hungry fish warming themselves on the flats. 

Great opportunities with the spinning gear and the fly rod! We can also run to a few nearshore spots and fish structure like wrecks & reefs. As a full time fishing guide and an angler this is one of my favorite times of year.
