Fishing Report

Its officially the end of summer in North Florida and the fishing is off the hook, Lots of big bruiser reds are piled up in the mouth of the St. Johns eagarly eating big baits, The water continues to hold and its gonna be a great fall of fishing.The big kings will hold on the areas beaches with tarpon, jacks and sharks as all this bait migrates south. Look for schools of bonita and spanish to be right in the mix too as our weather causes these guys to begin there southward run.. The big bull reds are in the inlet and up the river due to the below normal colder waters we have had and are eagerly taking pogies or mullet baits along with whole or cut crabs. The falling tides seem to work the best for these giants..The big bait pods on the area beaches are moving with the smallish blows we have had and got all this bait moving which  means bookoo action on the beach... Now is the time to hit it. The nearshore and offshore stuff is wide open with a mix of kings, amberjacks, cudas, and bonita  and the bottom fishing for seabass will begin to haet up along with the gag grouper with cooling temps.Remember you can't catch 'em from the couch!
