The Lagoon is giving up lots of trout. Water temperatures were in the mid 60’s which have made the fish lay lower in deeper water close to the bottom. Jigging a small plastic off the bottom will get strikes.

Us Floridians had to dust off our coats for the first time this year. Another blast is coming at the end of this week so I guess winter is here. The waters have taken a 10 degree drop in temperatures already putting them in the mid 60’s for the last couple of days.

Last week’s fishing was best on the freshwater bite compared to the two days on the lagoon. Sunday we had 15-20 mph south winds and we took a beating running from spot to spot but the bite was good.

I finally got back to fishing at Headwaters this past week. Water temperatures are starting out around the mid 70’s and the water was clean in all the spots we hit. No blockages on the main canals to run.

Had the pleasure of going on the Lagoon with one of my ex-clients and also the pleasure of having Captain Glyn Austin on board as well. Our morning was rudely interrupted by a massive acre size of large Jack crevalle erupting in the water.

I’ve had enough Honey Doing around my house lately. I gave up the heat for my fishing habit for the month of September and spent this past week cleaning up after the hurricane.

It’s been a rough two weeks for me lately. It started out the morning I met up with my friend John at Headwaters as our usual outing together. After prepping the boat loading my gear into it, I hopped back into my truck to move to a parking spot when I noticed my check engine light was on.

Three days on the water last week targeting different areas. My first trip was on the lagoon. Started off getting rained on very early. I made a short trip to my first spot to run from it for a few minutes.

Headwaters opened back up and the bite is still about the same as last reported. The best bite has been the first hour of daylight and lasts if you’re lucky for an hour.

I’ve been feeling a little sluggish lately with the heat we have been experiencing and my fishing has taken a small break. I did manage to make it out to 3 Forks with my friend whom I was out with a week earlier and we spun his prop.
