My old roommate had never fished inshore before, but after watching so many episodes of (insert fishing show name here) he wanted to go catch a redfish. So with that being the goal, we set set off to mark a species off his list. We didn’t have to search too long before we saw reds blasting bait on a sandbar. These fish weren’t just eating, they were in a full blown frenzy! All you could see were bronze colored backs, 4 inches out of the water, and small mullet running for their lives. One properly placed Berkley Gulp Shrimp on a jig sealed the deal. Luckily I had another friend on the boat who was equally interested in our goal, and allowed me to get hooked up as well.

I love to sight fish for redfish on the Banana River. Here’s a picture of my clients from Alabama with a pair of decent red drum. As the weather cools off here in central Florida the redfishing should continue to heat up.

Blind casts pay off. Many times fan casting a flat we are sight fishing on produces great results. Here’s a nice spotted sea trout this junior angler caught on a Gulp! jig combo. The Banana River has a large population of sea trout and I love to fish for them. As the weather cools off big trout will start populating the flats and often will eat large top water plugs and live baits. Give me a call if you would like to go chase them.

The fall brings good numbers of large tripletail migrating by Port Canaveral, Florida. Many times they can be found floating under debris, sargassum weedlines or local buoys and channel markers. Tripletail often fall victim to live shrimp, finger mullet or small jigs. Here’s Paul with a nice Cape Canaveral tripletail.
