The slow bite continues ... Tony Scott of Baltimore fly fishing Saturday had a tough go of things ... tarpon around but no takers. Fishing with his father today was not much easier ... lots of small snappers, small black drum and a few trout. Gary Scott (Chicago) did manage to squeak out a 31" snook at the end of the 1/2 day...
The weather was the coolest of the season. The next few days should drop the water temperature to make a big difference. The White pelicans are beginning to arrive as are the Spanish mackerels ... cobia should follow!!!

October started off with a bang!!! Tarpon were consistent and the snook bite very good. However, as we came into the middle of the month and near the full moon, the bite became much tougher.
Fishing with John Driscoll and his bass-angling friend Jerry, we found ourselves surrounded by tarpon Thursday morning. However, we had but one bite on a DOA Bait-Buster!! John did manage a few snook and a couple of redfish as did Jerry ... I fished with Steve Whelan and Rob Leverin today and had a blast with these guys. Steve was diligent with the top water throwing a Super Spook most of the day. Steve earn the nickname of the Teflon Don with the big snook that just would not stick!! He had them busting the surface breaching two feet in the air after his plug. It was quite a sight... He managed to make a few stick, however. Rob did the same with his redfish on topwater.
