Ahoy, fellow anglers!
The fishing scene has been nothing short of exciting lately, with the cooling temperatures seemingly heating up the bite. Let’s dive into the action!
Snook – These beauties have been incredibly active, especially with the recent rough weather. In fact, I had the unfortunate experience of losing my personal best this past week. For those looking to hook into some snook, I recommend using a 3/4oz bucktail jig with a Fishbites paddle tail. Look for them in deeper waters and areas with strong currents. Additionally, topwater lures have proven to be effective in reeling in some good snook action.
Sheepshead – With the changing weather, these guys are starting to make their appearance around the rocks and docks where they’ll spend the winter. To target them, opt for fiddler crabs, live sand fleas, or muscles.
Redfish and Jacks – Both species have been actively feeding on the surface, providing some exciting moments for anglers. You can also find them in deeper water and around the inlets this time of year. Keep an eye out for them during your fishing adventures.
Trout – Solid reports have been coming in about the trout from the past week. If you’re looking to land some, make use of dock lights and live shrimp for an easy and effective catch.
Flounder – The flounder season is drawing to a close on October 15th, but you still have a little time left to hook a few of these flat fish. Although reports for flounder have tapered off recently, there’s still a chance to land some satisfying catches.
We at Genung’s Fish Camp and the Flagler Sportfishing Club are thrilled to see the fishing action pick up as the temperatures cool down. Don’t miss out on the action – grab your gear and get out there for some unforgettable fishing moments!
Tight lines and happy angling! 
Chris from Skinny Water Lures mentioned this week’s bite has been awesome.
The weather is starting to cool off, helping to lower the water temperatures. There is still an abundance of baitfish hanging around the flats. Due to the abundance of rain the last few weeks, the tides are still super high.
Morning topwater bite has been slow for redfish, but multiple trout and snook were caught early morning in the long creek area on topwater. Very good numbers of Redfish were caught on incoming and out going tide using a paddle tail lures close to the bottom. It was noticed that paddle tails with chartreuse tails were a preferred choice for redfish this week. Due to the flood tides, multiple redfish were also caught cruising through or along the grass banks.
Focus your cast parallel to the banks and you will be sure to get a bite. The cooler weather this week had the trout bite on fire. Good numbers of trout were caught on early morning topwater. Midday the trout were found in areas with flowing current on bright colored paddle tails. This week the snook bite has also picked up. Upper slot snook are being found around structure and areas with high current using paddle tail style lures.
