We've got to get lucky every now and then and the front arrival couldn't have been timed more perfectly. Just add a little cooperation from the birds and everything will be good. The guests had a nice hunt yesterday afternoon taking full Redhead limits on a "Diver shoot".
September's whirlwind of outdoor activity continues at a frenzied pace with Dove, Alligator, early Teal, and great fishing all coincides. Teal action has slowed a bit with wing-shooters taking less than full limits the last couple of days. The South Zone dove season kicked off with a bang with lots of limits falling to the guns with mixed White-Wing; Euro; and Mourning dove.
Redfish action continues strong as Capt. Chris Cady noted over the big holiday with full limits for guests. Mud/grass venues remain the go to with elevated tides opening up some hot spots. September is a month of transitions in terms of approach and bait choices will begin to vary with artificial approaches moving on the upswing in effectiveness.
A welcome visit from Northerly winds last week have made for some great Trout fishing in the surf with limits on solid fish coming to the boards. The direction shift has also led to better action on the flats for Redfish despite very calm conditions which are typically counterproductive. Wade fishing has waned somewhat over what had been really hot shorelines.
We've been cooling things off with some hot wade fishing of late taking solid stringers to full limits on Trout and Redfish of late. Broader mid-bay structure remains buried in turbid freshwater with the back lakes and shoreines remaining the go to locations. Historically, we've cleared the worst flooding within 4 weeks and we're starting to see some minor circulation and saltwater mixing.
We've been catching nice stringers of Trout and decent Redfish numbers when we get a little wind blowing. It's way past starting to get hot out there but big Trout have been really pushing up the temperature levels as they start staging for the August spawn. We're running into these fish over mud/grass right now.
