Hunt for Reds in October
This is one of the best months to fish for redfish.

10-15-2008 - Good fall bite

It's really been a cool feeling in the morning. Literally. Instead of getting into the boat at 6am to catch bait, already soaked with sweat, I've been putting on long sleeve shirts for the ride out. Sure it's been getting warm in the afternoon but the cooler night time air temperatures have dropped the water temperature. The fish have taken notice and they are much more comfortable right now. What does that mean to us? It means they are eating and we are catching.

The redfish bite has really been good on incoming water in the New Port Richey and Tarpon Springs areas. Sardines are still available for bait and they have proven to be the key to entice bites. The snook bite hasn't been on fire but the snook we are catching are large. We've caught a few from 30" to 36" long this past week. The trout bite should be picking up any day nopw on the flats and there's plenty of spanish mackerel to go around if you like fighting the toothy critters.

I know school is back in session and vacations are over for the most part, but you're really missing out on some of the best fishing of the year if you're put a trip off until later. This is my favorite month of the year to fish the Tampa Bay area and I'll be out there catching fish... with or without you. So don't make me catch them all by myself. Let's go.
