Between my last report and right now the Blue Marlin have migrated into the St. Johns River and record catches are happening from the Dames Point Bridge area all the way to the Mayport jetties. The best bet is a kite rig, with a dangling leftover St. Patty's Day green sausage on a 1/0 circle hook.

It wasn't that long ago, I was writing this report and the inshore waters were freezing. Buddies of mine were talking dead or stunned fish South of Beach Blvd off the ICW. Dead or stunned fish in the Lake in Queens Harbor neighborhood. And I marked a river temp of 48 degrees on the surface, on a 20-25 knot morning. We lasted only 2 hours out on the river in Mayport, that day.

With Winter and the cold weather behind us here in the Northeast Florida region, expect the water temperatures to climb and the fishing to get red hot. The Redfish bite has been extremely good. Target creeks with deeper water adjacent to a flat, look for fish pushing in the shallow water and around oyster beds. Redfish are still running in schools, so the opportunity to boat several fish is a definite possibility.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. As the holiday season approaches, the temperatures are still dropping and the water is cooling down. Fishing, this time of year, in the Northeast Florida area, is very good. The Sheepshead bite has turned on in the region. As the colder weather rolls in, the water temps will drop, and the bite will really turn on.

November 17 Weekend Fishing Forecast
The first weekend of Red snapper Season 2017 started out pretty rough regarding weather, and it ended worse on the second weekend with a nor'easter completely closing off the ocean due to high seas. We were able to run the first 3 days Nov 3, 4, 5 but Sunday (5th) was very rough, causing us to cancel all afternoon trips. Of the trips we did run, both boats limited out each trip with some red snapper nearing 20lbs.

Thanks to Hurricane Irma's passing, not exactly what "land-lubbers" would call a wonderful thing but to local anglers it was just what we needed! Yes, Tropical storms, Hurricanes the great "re-newer". After a hot summer, all the rain and wind is a giant FLUSH and Something Mother Nature does, with a pretty awesome outcome, for Anglers!
