The Fall Bite is Here!

The typical fall weather pattern is here and the fish are all about it. The bait is very active and the bigger predators are too, our water temperatures are around 78 degrees and trending down fast as some more cold fronts make their way. This time of year all the way through November gives us a lot of opportunity to catch redfish, sea trout, flounder, and black drum.

As water temperatures drop the fish go into eating mode where they start to try and bulk up for the winter, when there is far less food available. We have been fishing with pogeys, mud minnows, shrimp, and mullet. They have all produced nicely for us as long as we can find the fish. Creeks flushing out during a falling tide bring all of the bait out of our marshes along with it and the redfish have been schooling up and feeding aggressively on most anything including artificial lures.

We have had our fair share of weather this late summer/early fall season already but Hilton Head is in great shape and the fish really don’t mind the wind and rain as much as we do. There have been plenty of opportunities on our flood tides and low tides to sight fish for redfish. This is an exhilarating way to hunt down some reds as you have to make accurate casts to land in front of the fish.

Things are looking great here for October and coming into the holiday season, come on out and make some memories with us if you’re in town. The bite is surely not to disappoint and we will do our best to make sure you and your crew have a great time on the water with us. We strive to give you the best experience we can because we want to see you back time and time again as clients and friends, not just customers.
