  • Fishing the Florida Gulf Coast: Snook, Redfish, and Tidal Insights for November 22, 2024
    Nov 22 2024
    For November 22, 2024, if you're planning to hit the waters of the Gulf of Mexico around Florida, here's what you can expect:

    ### Weather and Tides
    Today, the weather is looking partly cloudy with a high of 78 degrees and a low of 63 degrees. Expect gentle breezes out of the northwest at about 10 mph. Tides are crucial, especially for inshore fishing. For the Gulf Coast, particularly around the Tampa Bay and John's Pass areas, the high tide is at around 9:30 AM and the low tide at 3:30 PM. Sunrise is at 6:53 AM, and sunset will be at 5:23 PM.

    ### Fish Activity
    Snook and redfish are the stars of the show right now. Snook action has been solid, especially around the passes and bridges. The best times to target them are at night, early morning, and late afternoon when the heat of the day subsides. They are actively chasing live baits like greenbacks, threadfins, and shrimp. During the night, flair hawks and soft plastics are highly effective[1].

    Redfish are plentiful in the back bay waters, particularly around islands, mangroves, dock lines, and oyster bars. Cut baits such as cut threadfins, pinfish, ladyfish, and mullet are working well. Look for them near mullet schools and bird activity during the day[1].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For snook, live baits like greenbacks, threadfins, and shrimp are top choices. At night, switch to flair hawks and soft plastics. For redfish, cut baits are the way to go, with cut threadfins, pinfish, ladyfish, and mullet being favorites.

    ### Hot Spots
    John's Pass is a hot spot right now, with snook and redfish biting well around the passes, beaches, and flats. The upper and back bay areas are also producing good results. Another good spot is the area around the bridges and dock lines, where snook tend to congregate early in the morning and late in the day[1].

    ### Yesterday's Catch
    Yesterday saw a good number of snook and redfish caught. Anglers reported catching snook in the 20-30 inch range, with some larger ones caught during the night hours. Redfish were abundant, with many in the slot to under slot size, but some bigger ones were caught using cut baits[1].

    Overall, it's shaping up to be a great day on the water, so grab your gear and head out to take advantage of the active fish and favorable conditions.

  • Gulf of Mexico Fishing Forecast: Navigating Red Tide and Targeting Autumn Predators
    Nov 21 2024
    As of November 21, 2024, the fishing scene in the Gulf of Mexico, Florida, is looking promising despite some challenges from red tide.

    **Weather and Tides:**
    The water temperatures are still in the mid-70s, which is slightly warmer than usual for this time of year. Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 75°F and a low of 65°F. Tides are moderate, with a high tide at around 10:30 AM and a low tide at 4:30 PM, making the early morning and late afternoon ideal for fishing.

    **Sunrise and Sunset:**
    Sunrise is at 6:45 AM, and sunset is at 5:15 PM, giving you ample daylight to hit your favorite spots.

    **Fish Activity:**
    The fall mullet run is in full swing, attracting larger predatory species like tarpon, kingfish, and redfish. Yesterday, anglers reported catching several redfish in the 20-25 inch range, along with some snook and speckled trout. The red tide, although present in some areas, has not significantly impacted fishing in all regions. However, it's crucial to check the latest red tide reports, especially in Southwest Florida where bloom concentrations have been observed in counties like Sarasota and Charlotte[2].

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For targeting redfish and snook, topwater lures and soft plastics like shrimp or crab imitations are effective. Live bait such as mullet, pinfish, and shrimp are also highly recommended. For tarpon and kingfish, use larger lures like spoons or jigs, or live bait like blue runners or herring.

    **Hot Spots:**
    - **Boca Grande Pass:** Known for its tarpon and snook fishing, this area is particularly active during the fall mullet run.
    - **Sarasota Bay:** Despite some red tide presence, this bay remains a hotspot for catching redfish, snook, and speckled trout.
    - **Destin:** The waters off Destin are great for catching a variety of species including redfish, tarpon, and kingfish, especially around the nearshore reefs and wrecks.

    Remember to stay updated on the red tide status and adjust your fishing plans accordingly. With the right gear and knowledge of the local conditions, you're set for a successful day on the water.

  • Fishing the Gulf: Promising Catches of Snook, Redfish, and Offshore Trophies
    Nov 17 2024
    As of November 17, 2024, the fishing scene in the Gulf of Mexico along Florida's Gulf Coast is looking promising, despite some recent challenges.

    ### Weather and Tides
    The weather has been a bit unpredictable, with strong winds blowing lately, but it's starting to settle down. Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a gentle breeze out of the northwest. Tides are moderate, with a high tide around 10:30 AM and a low tide at 4:30 PM. Sunrise is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:23 PM.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fish activity has been steady, particularly for those targeting inshore species. Yesterday saw a good bite for snook, redfish, and speckled trout. Offshore, anglers reported catching sharks, mahi-mahi, and blackfin tuna.

    ### Catches
    In the inshore waters, anglers were successful in catching snook, redfish, and speckled trout in decent numbers and sizes. For example, a group fishing with Captain Wade near St. Petersburg caught a satisfying amount of snook, redfish, and speckled trout[5].

    Offshore, the reefs and wrecks were productive, with catches of sharks, mahi-mahi, and blackfin tuna reported by Captain Bryan's group near the Haulover Inlet[5].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For inshore fishing, live bait such as shrimp and pinfish are working well. Artificial lures like soft plastic jigs and spoons are also effective. Offshore, trolling with lures like spoons and plugs, as well as using live bait like ballyhoo and mullet, have been successful.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is the area around St. Petersburg, where the mangroves and shallow waters are hosting a good number of snook and redfish. Another promising area is near Pensacola Beach, where the reefs and wrecks are attracting a variety of offshore species like mahi-mahi and blackfin tuna[5].

    In summary, with the weather settling down and the tides in your favor, today is a great day to hit the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Make sure to pack your gear, including live bait and a selection of artificial lures, and head to the inshore mangroves or the offshore reefs for a productive day of fishing.
