Our first real cold front hit last week putting the water temperatures on Headwaters at a cool 63 degrees but by the weekend was back to the 70 degree mark.

Only one day out last week. I spent Tuesday at Garcia to fish a little and look around as well. The winds were relentless blowing around 15-20 out of the east on this day.

It was a busy week for me. I attended a meeting that FWC and the St. Johns Water Management gave. They are proposing to do a wetland restoration on the Mullet Creek canal system.

Only fished Headwaters once this past week before the wind machines turned on. We had a great bite and caught close to 30 bass mostly on soft plastic lures.

With my boat in the shop most of the week I had the opportunity to tagalong with a good friend to Headwaters. This impoundment known for giving up giant bass has been a disappointment for the lure fishermen.

Fall weather moving into winter is where the fun begins for the freshwater angler. So many variables will take place for anglers to deal with as to how we fish our neighboring waters.

Last week’s bite on the lagoon was good, we caught a bunch of trout. We did manage a few smaller snook too. My deeper areas of water gave up some really nice bluefish eating our topwater lures until the tide went slack.

Starting this week will be the beginning of our transitioning time of year. Our first cold front passed through over the weekend and brought us temperatures into the 60’s. Water temperatures on the lagoon were at 79 for me and I’m sure our area lakes are close to that as well.

The river is ALIVE with our Fall bait run at this time of year. There was so much bait on our first spot this past week we couldn’t get a bite on our artificial lures. Once the large pods moved on we started to get bit.

Our Mullet Run is starting to ramp up on our Lagoon System. Finding heavy concentrations of bait in a creek mouth type of an area will usually reward you with bites from snook, trout and […]
