It's October already. The surgery I had was a success. I waited, not so patiently, through the recommended recovery period. That time has finally passed. Nancy and I have taken our Fall vacation.
With all that behind me, I'm now ready to get back to some great fishing and have an open schedule with several tarpon and sailfish trips already booked in March and April of 2011. Now's the time to book that fishing trip that you've been putting off.
There are schools of finger mullet in the Bay. That means that tarpon, snook, and jack crevalle should be having a whale of a time feasting on them.
As we get further into the Fall time frame, the action for kingfish and sailfish will pick up. Dolphin are starting to make the run south through our area as the weather up north begins to cool down and the water temperature starts to drop. As of now, dolphin are coming through our area scattered in a wide range from 2 – 10 miles out.
Bottom fishing at night is producing yellowtail snapper, a few mangroves, and mutton snapper. Current is the key and only Mother Nature has control of that.
Tarpon fishing along the beach and at the Inlets will be good as long as mullet continue to move through the area. Once the mullet run is over, that action will slow down until the first shrimp runs take place signaling the start of the winter tarpon season. The good news, however, is that there will still be tarpon readily available in the Bay till the winter season kicks off.
During my down time, Knot Nancy had a makeover of the upholstery, T-top, and new electronics. She's ready to go for another great season of South Florida fishing. All it takes to get in on it is for you to give me a call 305-965-9454 or email nkostyo@bellsouth.net to get your trip booked. It's that simple.
It's great to be back on the water.
