Fishing Report by Capt. Brant McMullan

You can't deny the feeling of Fall in the air. You likely know that Fall offers some of the best fishing the area sees, and as far as I'm concerned, it can't come soon enough. However, it will still be another couple of weeks before the Fall fishing really kicks into high gear. Currently water temperatures are still in the mid 80's. And despite lots of recent North wind that has pushed Mullet out of the inlets and onto the beach fronts, the Kings are just not there yet. Look for water temperatures to fall into the upper 70's before the Kings will magically show up along the beach and give the Mullet something to think about. The Gulf Stream fishing has been picking up steady as Wahoo and Mahi have been biting with regularity over the past couple of weeks. In addition, Sailfish and White Marlin are mixed in to provide additional entertainment. Grouper fishing has also been picking up as the Gags can sense Fall and are beginning to move closer to shore into the 60-80 foot depth range. To be honest, there isn't any particular fishing that is stand-out right this moment. It has been a tough late Summer of fishing, and the facts are that it is still Summer. But, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I will keep you abreast of water temperatures and fish movements, so stay tuned.
