  • Gulf of Mexico Fishing Update: Promising Conditions Amid Red Tide Concerns (140 characters)

    Gulf of Mexico Fishing Update: Promising Conditions Amid Red Tide Concerns (140 characters)
    Nov 2 2024
    As of November 2, 2024, the fishing scene in the Gulf of Mexico, particularly around Florida, is looking promising despite some challenges.

    ### Weather and Tides
    The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 78 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 68 degrees. Sunrise was at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:31 PM. Tides are moderate, with a high tide at 9:15 AM and a low tide at 3:15 PM, which should provide good conditions for both inshore and offshore fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    Following recent storms, water quality has been a concern, but fish activity is still robust. In the coastal gulf, you can expect to find a mix of blues, Spanish mackerel, and pompano, especially on deep grass flats. Larger trout are active in the skinny waters, while redfish are spreading out on shallow grass flats, often around bars, potholes, or near docks. Snook are staging around bars and shallow flats as they move towards their winter areas.

    ### Red Tide Update
    It's important to note that there have been reports of red tide in Southwest Florida, particularly in Pinellas County, which may affect fishing conditions and cause respiratory irritation. However, the East and Northwest coasts of Florida are currently clear of red tide.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For redfish, using CAL jigs with shad tails, grubs, or jerk worms, along with gold spoons, should be effective in shallow waters. Fly anglers can score with lightly weighted flies such as Clousers, spoon flies, or the Grassett Flats Minnow fly. For snook, live bait around lighted docks in the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) is a good bet, especially at night. In the coastal gulf, Spanish mackerel, false albacore, and tripletail can be caught using jigs and spoons.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Sarasota Bay**: This area is excellent for fishing shallow and deep grass flats, with a variety of fish including reds, trout, and snook.
    - **Boca Grande Pass**: Known for its tarpon and kingfish, this pass is a hotspot for inshore game fish, especially during the changing tides.
    - **Destin and Panama City**: These areas offer great inshore and nearshore fishing for redfish and tarpon, with the added benefit of offshore fishing in the blue waters of the northern Gulf.

    Overall, it's a great time to hit the waters, but be mindful of the red tide conditions and take necessary precautions to protect both yourself and the environment.

  • Fishing the Gulf of Mexico: Promising Conditions and Targeted Techniques for Snook, Tarpon, and More

    Fishing the Gulf of Mexico: Promising Conditions and Targeted Techniques for Snook, Tarpon, and More
    Nov 1 2024
    As of November 1st, 2024, the fishing scene in the Gulf of Mexico, particularly around Florida, is looking promising despite the recent storms affecting water quality.

    ### Weather and Tides
    Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 78°F and a low of 68°F. The winds will be moderate, coming from the southeast at about 10 mph. Tides are crucial, and for today, the high tide is at 9:35 AM, and the low tide is at 3:45 PM. These conditions should provide a decent window for fishing.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 6:51 AM, and sunset will be at 5:34 PM, giving you ample time to hit your favorite spots.

    ### Fish Activity
    After the recent storms, fish activity has been a bit erratic, but there are still plenty of opportunities. Snook are active around docks and bridges, especially during early morning and late afternoon. They are keyed in on mullet, so using live finger mullet or lures like Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencils and bigger swimbaits will be effective. Tarpon are also present, particularly around bridges at night and in areas like Tampa Bay and Charlotte Harbor.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    Yesterday saw a good number of redfish schooling on shallow grass flats, along with big trout in the same areas. Spanish mackerel and false albacore (little tunny) have been spotted in the coastal gulf, attracted by baitfish. There have been reports of cobia, tripletail, and kingfish as well, though kingfish action remains scattered.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For snook, use live finger mullet, Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencils, or bigger swimbaits like flair hawk jigs. For redfish and trout, surface walking topwater plugs, fly poppers, and Gurglers are excellent choices. For Spanish mackerel and little tunny, small white flies or CAL jigs with shad tails work well. When targeting tarpon, use lighted docks and bridges before dawn with lures like DOA Shrimp or small white flies.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is the Tampa Bay ship channel, where you can find Spanish mackerel and little tunny following baitfish. Another good spot is around the bridges and docks in Sarasota, where snook and tarpon are active. The shallow grass flats around Charlotte Harbor are also worth a visit for redfish and trout.

    Overall, it's a good day to get out on the water, especially if you can hit the early morning or late afternoon slots when fish are most active. Just remember to match your lures and bait to the hatch and be prepared for some toothy fish by adding wire or heavy fluorocarbon to your leader.

  • "Gulf Coast Florida Fishing Forecast: Redfish, Trout, and Cobia Abound in the Fall"

    "Gulf Coast Florida Fishing Forecast: Redfish, Trout, and Cobia Abound in the Fall"
    Oct 31 2024
    As of October 31, 2024, the Gulf of Mexico along Florida's coast is offering some fantastic fishing opportunities, especially with the fall season in full swing.

    The weather today is mild, with air temperatures hovering around 75 degrees, typical for this time of year. The skies are partly cloudy, with a gentle breeze out of the northeast. High tide is expected around 10:35 AM, and low tide at 4:15 PM, making these tidal changes crucial for activating fish activity. Sunrise this morning was at 7:34 AM, and sunset will be at 6:53 PM, giving you ample daylight to get out on the water.

    Fall fishing in the Gulf of Mexico is all about the transition as water temperatures drop into the low 70s and upper 60s, making fish more active. Yesterday saw a lot of action, particularly for redfish, trout, and cobia. Inshore, redfish and trout were plentiful, especially in the flats around Apalachicola, Dog Island near Carrabelle, and the flats of Eastpoint around Yents Bayou. Anglers reported catching several redfish in the 20-25 inch range and trout up to 18 inches.

    Offshore, cobia were active around channel markers and buoys, with some catches reported near the passes on either end of St. George Island. The fall mullet run is also in full swing, attracting a variety of species such as tarpon, snook, and redfish, especially in areas like the Mosquito Lagoon and the inshore waters of Jupiter and Palm Beach.

    For inshore fishing, live shrimp are always a solid choice. Artificial lures such as gold or silver spoons, traditional grubs in colors like Gulf red, white, or new penny, and suspension lures in greenback or silver are also effective for redfish. For surf fishing, sand fleas, Fish Bites, or Fish Gum worked well for mackerel and pompano.

    Some hot spots to consider include the flats around Postun Bayou, where redfish gather around docks and flats as the water temperatures drop. For offshore fishing, the passes on either end of St. George Island are great spots for targeting cobia using natural or artificial eels or brightly-colored jigs. Another excellent spot is the deeper troughs between sandbars, particularly around the areas near Carrabelle and Apalachicola, which are known for surf fishing yields of mackerel and pompano.

    Overall, it's a great time to get out on the water and take advantage of the excellent fishing conditions the Gulf Coast of Florida has to offer this fall.
