Last Weeks Fishing Report
Well folks, with all the doom and gloom you been hearing from me over the last few weeks, I can finally say that conditions are changing for the better. If you haven't noticed, the fall love bug hatch is on, the goldenrods are in full bloom and the acorns are starting to drop. All of these are signs of fall, and the signify the commencement of the fall mullet run and the time of year breeder redfish school form up for their spawn in the north Indian River and Mosquito Lagoons. During the full moon phase last week all I heard was reports of no significant redfish schools being sighted, well all of that has changed these last few days. The schools are starting to appear in many of their traditional locations from the south end of the Mosquito Lagoon to Sebastian Inlet, so don't hesitate. During these breeding periods, the redfish become very aggressive striking well presented swim baits like the DOA Bait Buster and the Gulp Ripple Mullet, and top-water plugs like the Rapala Skitterwalk. Remember, these are breeder schools of trophy redfish, so please don't pound them. Catch yourself a couple nice fish, practice CPR, and then let the school do its thing.
Along the beach, the mullet run is on, but heavy seas have made fishing outside the inlets in shallow water boats a bit challenging, but as Maria move away, thing will start to settle down and fishing will improve.
As always, if you need information of have any questions, please contact me.
Good luck and good fishing,
Captain Tom Van Horn
