ater temperatures are falling. King mackerel are on the move. Wherever they roam, fall is the time to catch kingfish during their annual migration south. In the Atlantic, from the Carolinas south along the Florida coast, kings are following bait to warmer waters. The same thing is going on in the Gulf of Mexico. Kingfish that summered in the northern Gulf are splitting up. Some head west down the Texas coast. Others move east along the Panhandle and down the west coast of Florida. Wherever you fish, the next few months offer the opportunity to connect with the movements of these mercury missiles as they mingle with resident populations. The prospect for drag-burning runs is out there for anglers who pay close attention to water temperatures and stay on the move until they find the fish. King mackerel are as temperature driven as any fish in the sea. When they’re marauding baitfish, they can be found close to shore on the beaches, passes and jetties, where even shore-bound anglers have a shot at them. But most of the larger kingfish hunt over nearshore reefs in 30- to 60-feet or deeper. Deep or shallow, they’ll seek out 68- to 73-degree temperatures where they are comfortable. Watch the water temperature charts, and fish by them. Find the right temperature and an abundance of baitfish, and putting out a spread of baits will tell you quickly if there are kingfish around. Live bait is always the best bet, especially for big smokers. The best bait will depend on where you fish and what baitfish are most prevalent. Pogies (menhaden), hardtails (blue runners), pilchards and threadfin herring are all good baits if they are present. The fall mullet runs offer an abundance of good bait. A lot of tournament and charter boats put a Spanish mackerel in a spread looking for a big bite. Most importantly, baitfish should be fresh. Catch the bait that is available with Sabikis or cast nets, keep it well-oxygenated and switch them frequently. Most kingfish rigs will use a mainline of 20- to 30-pound monofilament. Obviously, with those teeth, a wire leader is essential. You should go as heavy as the fish will let you get away with—depending on water clarity—but it must remain light enough for the bait to swim. A 24-inch, single-strand wire leader of 40-pound test is a starting point. Go lighter in clear water or with smaller baits; go heavier in dirty water or if you’re fishing big baits for big fish. Leaders can be made longer for security. Hooks should be matched to the size of the bait, and it’s wise to add a stinger hook on large baits. Whether anchored, drifting or slow-trolling, a fresh chum slick is a good idea. If a king doesn’t hit within 15 or 20 minutes, pick up and go find some that are biting. They shouldn’t be hard to find this time of year.

By Greg Hatten etails are important when fly fishing for steelhead and running a wood boat through the rocky rivers of the Pacific Northwest. It’s the details I obsess about – the knots, the leaders, the water temperature, the boulders that might hold fish or punch a hole in a wood boat. I am “Obsessed by Details” or OBD. Every piece of gear I carry must pass the OBD test. When I put sunglasses under my microscope, Popticals are my choice. It’s the only brand that provides superior visual performance and a portable design that can be easily packed anywhere to protect the lenses. Eyewear must cut through the glare and provide clarity to see tiny details like the color of insects hatching, the subtle rise of trout, or the faint underwater shadow of a holding steelhead. Popticals offer a level of detail head and shoulders above other glasses. When I row, eyewear must give me clarity to see “the safe line” through rocky sections of river as well as in the distance when I am judging obstacles downriver. Popticals are the sunglasses I trust with my boat on the line. My sunglasses must also provide superior protection from sharp hooks flying through the air. The Popticals I wear have a great side guard that provides outstanding protection. Popticals are the perfect combination of performance and protection with the bonus feature of folding down so small they fit in the palm of my hand. Greg Hatten is a professional fly fishing guide and wood boat builder. Check out Popticals at popticals.com.

t doesn’t get much better than watching the sun peak above the horizon with a rod in hand while schools of redfish crash baitfish all around you. Many areas redfish frequent are in skinny water, and targeting them from a kayak allows access as well as an up close and personal adventure. Kayaks have come a long way since their inception. Thousands of years ago, natives of North America’s arctic built the first kayaks of whale bones and animal skins. They used them for hunting. Today’s plastics and a wave of interest in kayak fishing over
the last decade sparked advancements in kayaks manufactured specifically for fishing. Improvements in space, stability, comfort and maneuverability are just a few of the reasons these vessels are so attractive to anglers. Add to that some of the many options available, such as peddle assist, power poles for anchoring, bait wells and super comfortable seating with lumbar support, and you have a five-star fishing platform that provides access to very skinny water. When fishing from a kayak, lightweight gear is a fun and effective way to target redfish. Light gear offers a challenge when hooked up to 5-plus-pound fish, and it also gives an advantage when casting to distant fish, especially if using braided line. Redfish in skinny water can be caught using jig heads, shrimp under a popping cork, D.O.A. Shrimp and even topwater and suspending baits. This time of year, the mullet really start getting fired up as they start migrating. As redfish actively pursue their prey, casting a topwater plug early in the morning is a really exciting way to draw a strike. Leader material is important in this type of fishing since oyster beds will fray line. Check and replace the leader as needed so the big one never gets away. Kayak fishing has really offered up a unique and exciting way to explore many different types of water. There are many makes and models to suit your fishing style, and taking a kayak out on the water is the best way to see for yourself. Visit a local dealer and get ready to expand your horizons beyond traditional fishing crafts. It’s a different view with exciting promises!

verything we do in life carries risks, even going for a drive. Wear your seatbelt, learn to be a defensive driver, and life goes on. Spearfishing has risks too, but they are manageable. A lot of people ask, “What about sharks?” I tell them, “Sharks are like dogs. The vast majority are not a threat. In fact, it’s a privilege to see them in the water. You should enjoy the sight!” Unlike the Jaws movie era, most people now understand that sharks are not mindless monsters. They are beautiful creatures, and there’s many sightseeing opportunities for tourists and photographers. On the other hand, when you are spearfishing, you don’t want to be too cavalier and shoot fish in front of sharks. They are wild animals and should be respected. One should not spear in areas where shark feeding takes place or areas known to be “sharky.” Fortunately, sharks don’t appear out of nowhere and start munching on your leg; that is not their nature. However, it is their nature to be attracted to wounded fish. The vibration attracts them even more than the blood. This is one of several reasons to strive for the killshot on your prey. If you do not achieve that, it is wise to dispatch and place your fish on the boat as quickly as possible. It’s also best to keep moving along. Don’t stay in one spot, especially in the Bahamas. Assuming you’ve done everything possible to avoid an encounter, the next most important step is to dive with a buddy, stay aware, cover each other, and don’t stray too far from the boat. Bad situations tend to escalate gradually. If one diver maintains a watch while the other is dealing with their fish, you are less likely to have a surprise encounter. A good buddy will alert you, call the boat over, and make sure the fish is landed without incident. Sharks tend to make several passes before zeroing in on the target, so there should be plenty of time to land the fish before things escalate. When a shark does show Manny Puig in the water with a big up, it’s important to not show mako shark. Photo by Robin Berg. fear or run away from them. Like dogs, they sense fear and will be more interested if you freak out. Stand your ground, face them, assume an aggressive posture and calmly exit the water. Here’s a summary: 1. When spearing, avoid shark encounters as much as possible. 2. Try to get killshots or dispatch the fish quickly and put it on the boat. Don’t carry a stringer. 3. Move from spot to spot, even if you haven’t seen a shark. 4. Dive as a buddy team and look out for each other after shooting fish. 5. Keep the boat nearby so you can quickly unload fish and/ or exit the water. 6. Do not give up the fish to a shark. That tends to escalate the situation. 7. Do not panic or run from a shark, face them with confidence, but exit when possible. Happy hunting and see you in the water!

Infinity by Harman is about to launch their much-anticipated Kappa Series speaker lineup. The series is a family cosmetic, with a 6 ½”, 8”, and 10” speaker available in either a titanium or white grill. What separates the speaker from other premium speakers is a unique combination of performance, lighting and an unusual “twist” to the 8” speaker. The Kappa 8130 is the new 8” premium white three-way marine speaker from Harman. This speaker boasts 500 watts of peak power (200W RMS) and incorporates two locales for RGB lighting: perimeter ribbon and center mount. Up to seven colors can be attained depending on wiring. The acoustic flexibility of this speaker is perhaps its most inspirational feature. The removable 3 ½” mid tweeter plays perfectly with the science of sound. To recap this science, high frequencies are unidirectional while low frequencies are omnidirectional. Most boat speakers are installed at knee level or lower, so the mid and high frequencies are lost, aimlessly fired at ankles. Harman recognized this deficiency and engineered a removable 3 ½” mid tweeter. Should you choose to remove the mid tweeter, what remains is an 8” subwoofer.

T
he transition of seasons always brings new opportunity and a change of pace for anglers. Summer to fall offers the richest rewards of any. It’s a time when fish are easiest to find and catch. October has an unlimited array of angling potential for species, tactics and the potential for catching an inshore slam. Let’s start with speckled trout. One of the easiest tactics to catch these fish in fall is under the birds. Typically, this yields smaller trout, but in the fall it is not uncommon to locate many schools holding keeper size trout. I fish a durable soft plastics rigged on ¼- and ½-ounce jigheads. Keeping one rod rigged with each offers several benefits. If the school is moving fast, heavier weight allows for a longer cast. It enables you to pull a few more fish out of the school. If they are really on the move, this can be
the only way to get your lure into the sweet spot. At times, larger trout hang out lower in the water column beneath smaller trout. A heavier jig gets down past smaller fish. On the other hand, you might need the ¼-ounce in order to slow the sink rate when working smaller schools, so the scattered trout have time to find it before it drops out of sight. Here’s a tip: Smash the barb on the hook down. When you are on a school, time is not on your side. You want the trout to fall off the hook once it is in the boat. This allows you to get your lure back out into feeding fish quickly. I typically sling them in without a net. Use the leverage of the rod and the momentum of reeling the fish in. It can take a minute to get the hang of this, but it saves time when working the birds. If I’m on an actively feeding school, I sling them in, let them fall on the deck and cast again. Once we are off the school, I place the fish in the cooler. I also like to wait until a shrimp jumps. Then I cast exactly to that spot. Many times this results in a solid strike. Autumn reds can be found gorging themselves in bayou mouths and marsh drains on outgoing tides as the shrimp, crabs and mullet are making their way out of the shallows. Studying your satellite maps and your tide tables for specific areas will put the odds in your favor and reds in your boat. Flounder can also be found mixed in with the reds as they are starting their winter migration. Flat fish will still be scattered but can be found starting to stage at the major passes. Autumn fishing is a great time to be on the water and a perfect time to introduce young anglers to the sport. The weather is nice, and the fish are hungry! Capt.

I can’t wait for the first cold front in October to get the fish stirred up. I’m already noticing big groups of blue winged teal ducks heading south. Bass and crappie are preparing for the spawn; get ready for fall fishing action! Kissimmee Chain of Lakes West Lake Toho is producing good numbers of bass. The state sprayed the Kissimmee chain and canals in September. They are also spraying the boat runs throughout the thicker areas. Good places to fish are the edges of the hydrilla, and anywhere you can find a defined edge. Shiners fished right against the hydrilla works best. Other good areas are Goblins cove, the flood

Bass fishing bite on Lake Okeechobee has been hot lately, with the best times being early mornings and late afternoon until about dark. The bream spawn is just about over but some still can be found and caught on the beds using small live crickets or red worms rigged on light spinning tackle. The morning and evening fishing offers prime time to brush up on your top-water skills using a Devils horse or Zara spook or Pop-R aiming for the holes in the grass/grass edges. As the morning bite slows down and the sun starts to get a little higher, I slow my presentation down but still fish the grass edges/holes using worms and senkos worked slowly and methodically. I keep my flipping stick handy and ready to go to expound on the thicker grass clumps where it provides some shade for the bass. I typically have it rigged with a creature-style like a Gene Larew
gate structures have been open all of September moving water south. Fish the flow - swim baits work well in moving water. The water levels are up for the winter. Lots of fish will be in the Kissimmee grass in shallower water. East Lake Toho - The bass are holding in close to the edges of the reeds early in the morning. Once the sun gets up they move out to open water vegetation. East Lake is a good artificial lake. Plastics such as trick worms, vibe, and skinny dipper are working great. Colors are water melon seed, June bug as your best bet. East Lake has a lot of open water Illinois pond weed. I like flipping it on calm days, a good way to produce big fish. Crappie - fish open water; trolling, or at night with lights are your best bets. Panfish look for open water shell beds and use live red worms fished on the bottom.
hoo-daddy or crawdad or senko, depending on how thick the cover is. I also have a chatter-bait, top-water popper or rattle trap rod rigged and ready to catch any schooling bass that come up. Once you spot the schooling fish try to get your bait in the middle of the pack. Once they fire up you can usually catch several from the same group. The bite seems to slow at late morning to mid-afternoon, so it’s imperative to get out early in the morning or the late afternoon timeframe. Color patterns for plastics are junebug, red shad, green-pumpkin and black/blue. For shallow cranks, stick with a shad or a bluegill or crawdad color depending on the water clarity and where you’re fishing. To book Capt.

hurricane Florence, there is plenty of extra water for the fish to hide. Love bugs and the first cold front signal the arrival of the fall season. The Central Florida black crappie bite is on. American shad begin to show up around Christmas. Largemouth bass will readily take spinner baits like the trusted Johnson Beetle Spin, rattling crankbaits like the famous Rattle Trap, topwater chuggers like a Rebel Pop-R, and soft plastic worms (dark colors especially blue/black) and swimbaits like a Gambler EZ Swimmer. With high water levels, look for feeding largemouths in shallow, two feet or less. Crappies in the early season are found in the lakes, they move into the deep river bends after the second cold front. To catch crappie, simply tie a small jig on 8 lb. test monofilament and tip with a minnow. Take that minnow-tipped jig to the up-wind side of the lake and slow troll it behind the boat fishing with the wind at about 1.2 mph. The more rods you can deploy, the better. When you catch a fish, mark the spot on your GPS. When you get to the other side of the lake, go back and repeat making sure to troll over your newly found crappie spots.
The Harris Chain of Lakes has been fishing very well for largemouth bass. Anglers have had great success in taking some time to plan prior to trips by using satellite maps and other fishing applications when scheduling trips. You’ll want to start in areas that have both shallow water under 3 feet very close to deeper water say around 10 feet. If you can find some heavy matted hydrilla, fish in the area with senko plastic worms and other types. When fishing soft plastics make sure to vary your retrieve till you start getting bites or catching fish. Subtle differences in retrieve sometimes are the way to go. Fast, slow, add weights – once you find the combination focus on the areas fish are holding. Also, do not be afraid of casting to a fishy looking area and just let the bait sit on the bottom for a minute or so (called
dead sticking). This tactic has worked surprisingly well. A small square bill crankbait has been a good primary search bait if the area can be fished with baits with treble hooks, where vegetation is deeper or near creek mouths and deeper water, etc. If there is a lot of grass, you can fish with a soft plastic jerk bait. Texas rigged has been another good producer. While you’re out fishing make sure to look for birds and other wildlife. Fish chasing bait around on the surface is worth investigating – match the hatch and throw the bait right where the fish are busting as soon as possible because if they got that bait, their friends will compete for your lure. This is a fun time of year to be fishing, If you’re looking to book your own guided fishing trip please check out our website www.cprbasscharters.com for more information. Book in advance to guarantee that trip of a lifetime. I will be offering a discount on six-hour, eight-hour and fish till you drop trips for the month of October, don’t forget to ask about this discount.

like the DOA BFL or Bait Buster and when the toothy critters show up switch to hard baits like the Rapala Skitter walk in natural baitfish colors. Adding a 12-inch piece of #6 wire to your lure or hook will prevent breakoffs. Shorter days and cooler nights, acorns dropping from my live oak trees and the love bug hatch are all signs of fall on the Indian River Lagoon Coast of Florida. Another sure sign of fall on the Lagoon Coast is the waves of baitfish working their way south on their fall migration through the lagoon and along the beach. October serves as beginning of the fall bait run consisting primarily of silver mullet, a tropical species, with some Atlantic menhaden (pogies), bay anchovies (glass minnows) and black mullet mixed in. These tasty little baitfish ring the dinner bell for a large array of hungry predators looking to fatten up for the winter. As the water cools, waves of bait move in pulses heading south, and locating bait concentrations is the key to catching fish. When targeting predator species during the bait run, use mullet imitation lures
Happy Halloween! What a great month we had once again in the beautiful waters of Florida’s Atlantic. Bunker have been cooperating more every day as are the mullet. Don’t just try going south for the bait as they are being found in the Canaveral Bight more and more with passing days. Take those baits offshore to the reef and slow troll for some good kingfish action. Mixed in with the kings have been a bunch of bonito and cobia. Just stick to your normal stinger rigs and slow troll those at slow speeds of 1 or 2 knots at most. If you don’t have any luck, frozen cigar minnows are working as well. But definitely use some of those busters supplied by the Fish and
Tarpon, cobia, kingfish, bluefish, redfish, snook, sharks, and jack crevalle will all be feasting on the bait off the beaches. Typically, mullet can be found near the shore break or inside the trough. Pogies and glass minnows can school up as deep as 50 feet south of the Port Canaveral buoy line. Some days the bait will hold just outside the shore break use caution and keep your boat a safe distance from the swells. Find bait, find the predators! Also, October and November are notorious for blustery breezes and nasty weather, but they’re also one of the best times of year for angling on the Lagoon coast, so watch the weather, pick your days on the water, and catch some fish.
Dive center in Cocoa Beach, get with Nick - he knows what’s going on. Bottom fishing should only start to improve. It has been tough catching croakers lately. Try the bouy line and try a few of the drop offs. Typically, this time of year we should start seeing the cobia and blackfin tuna showing up. See if you can’t get around the shrimp boats during the day while they are anchored up. It has been pretty good! For the nearshore fishing, follow the schools of mullet, the tarpon and snook have been great. The jetties have been holding fish daily. Flourocarbon is a great bonus with this type of fishing. Spanish macs have been schooling the mullet schools too. Small jigs and topwter poppers work great with this type of fishing. Good luck. www.firedupcharters.com

Paddle Power As summer ends on the Space Coast and the north winds start to blow, hordes of transient mullet migrate south fleeing the colder northern summer haunts. The spectacular sight of that favorite fishing spot so loaded with mullet that the water appears to boil and all your favorite gamefish gorging on this mobile buffet will surely burn into your memory bank. Though some of the most dramatic displays of predator vs. pray action will take place on the beaches of Brevard County do not overlook the mass migration that makes its way through the Lagoons and mirrors the beach run in fishing opportunities. I will out-line some tips and tactics that should put you on the fish during the mullet run. Also, be sure to swing by the official Local Lines Facebook page for tips, hints, and pics. Facebook. com/Local Lines Guide Service.
Simply Better. Enigma is a company of anglers creating products and opportunities for anglers.
The cold fronts are key so pay attention to the weather and you can catch this run. Some years its wide open fishing for weeks but others have been but a trickle over days and weeks, so it takes a bit of homework to hit it right. The ‘run’ can be enjoyed by boat, foot, or kayak. Some of the best beaches in Brevard are Playalinda, Cocoa Beach Pier (area), and around both Port Canaveral/Sebastian Inlets. Also, all of the worm rock reefs from Satellite Beach through Indialantic hold predators in wait. Of course, a live mullet will get hit and they are best rigged on a fish-finder rig with the appropriate weight to hold bottom. But my favorite way to fish the run is with large top water plugs or large floating lipped/diver plugs (same color choices as the lagoon section) namely Windcheaters fished on higher tides. This is true pot luck fishing that could have you hooked to a snook or redfish on one cast, then a 100lb. tarpon or 6ft. shark on the next. As with the beaches our lagoons will be host to the mass transient schools of mullet but many will find their wintering spots and stay. Look at it like this; Carolina mullet find our winter waters comfortable and warm, but our mullet might spend Christmas in the Keys. Everything must shift south! Points, dock lines, and edges of flats will all act as ambush points for reds, trout, snook and some tarpon. Pot holes on open flats will also be utilized on occasions when the bait is more spread out. Of course a live free-lined mullet will work great, but for those that don’t want to mess with all that bait plugs work great. The low light times will have any top water lure of your choice getting smacked around, but cooler temps account for some good all day fishing utilizing 1/8oz.weedless keeper style hook accompanied with a Slayer Inc. SST. With so much bait present I stick with the two basic color choices of natural vs. bright and bold. If natural is getting lost and not hit go to white, or vice versa. These predators have their choice of snacks and sometimes they call for crazy different, but other times they want something that looks the same but acts injured, slower, or easy to eat.

ith a little math from this old engineer and some hungry central Florida permit, dinner was M’m, M’m good! Capt John Milroy, Scott Davis and I headed out the St. Lucie Inlet recently targeting permit and cobia on my 24’ Ranger “R KA NU.” As we headed north along the beach, greenies were everywhere. In about 10 minutes, we added 30 to go along with the 10 small crabs from Fish Heads Bait & Tackle. We ran north, waking up a few large turtles, but no cobia. North of the Martin/St. Lucie county line, we started drifting close to the beach. It was time for a math lesson. Light fishing gear + crab on the bottom = permit. Heavy spinning reel + greenies = cobia. After releasing a small permit, margates and several spinner sharks, including one six-footer, we got serious with our math. The permit hit hard, with four runs to the bottom of the Penn reel. Capt. John ran in circles as the permit circled us eight times. After a long fight, I brought a 30-pound permit alongside. Scott waited nervously with an 18-inch-wide net, knowing if he blew this opportunity he would never live it down. After some fist bumps and another spinner shark, we headed home in a 1- to 2-foot swell at 11:30 a.m. We never found cobia, but the one bruiser permit was enough to complete the equation.

wordfishing is more of a south Florida thing. But on good-weather days when they’re not chasing tuna or wahoo, there’s a group of Melbourne fishermen who gear up with big Lindgren Pitman 1200 electric reels and make a 40mile run out of Sebastian Inlet to the middle of the Gulf Stream. They drop foot-long strip baits rigged with bonito, dolphin or wahoo bellies into the darkness of 1,500 feet. With 10 pounds of lead and lights staggered up 65-pound braid, they wait… sometimes all day for a swordfish to bite. Saturday, Aug. 18 was one of those days. Capt. Roger Montz pointed his 36’ Yellowfin offshore with a plan to take advantage of this year’s Atlantic red snapper season before heading to deep water in search of swordfish. On board were Logan, Montz’s 16-year-old son who works at Strike Zone Fishing in Melbourne; Matt Fowler, who also works at Strike Zone; and Ron Yampolsky, of Corey’s Bagels in Melbourne. “It was a zoo,” said Yampolsky of the red snapper scramble. “Every spot had like 10 to 20 boats on it.” In short order, the anglers picked up their limit of red snapper, four fish that weighed about 10-pounds each, and they headed out for the deep drop. In the Gulf Stream, Logan manned the reels all day long. With two baits out, the high-schooler hooked landed his first-ever swordfish, an 85-pounder that Yampolsky called “perfect eating size.” And the boat picked up another not-so-widely-known species for the supper table, an Atlantic pomfret (brama brama). Pomfret live in depths down to more than 3,000 feet in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans. “It’s bycatch, but it’s actually better eating than the swordfish,” Yampolsky said. “The meat is like a huge, giant piece of pompano. It’s really better than pomano. It’s white meat, and it’s got a texture similar to swordfish, but it’s less fishy.” Yampolsky said they catch a few pomfret while deep dropping for swordfish and would probably catch more by sizing down to target them. This was the biggest one Yampolsky has seen. He estimated its weight at 30 pounds.

and-based shark fishing (LBSF) has been enjoyed by anglers along the coastlines of Florida for many decades with limited spotlight, public concern, or ecological evaluation. While events such as deceased large hammerhead and tiger sharks appearing on several beaches in 2017 catalyzed a deeper examination of this type of fishing, greater exposure due to social media and a growing popularity of LBSF has also driven the need for a review by the Florida Wildlife Commission (FWC). This summer the FWC established 10 workshops around the state during the months of July and August for discussion and feedback on ideas for proposed policy and guideline implementation for LBSF. These forums were open to the public. I attended the FWC Workshop in Melbourne, Fla. on Aug. 27. I was not surprised that there was a full room, mostly of concerned citizens, including several local mayors as well as a few activists. Notably, the concern was mostly about public safety regarding this type of fishing from citizens, while activists pushed shark welfare. Anglers comprised a vocal 20 or so percent of the room. As Bob Dylan sang, “the times, they are a-changing.” As anglers, we are faced with issues and dilemmas our previous generations did not have. Global fisheries are under attack, while coastal fisheries are under increasing regulation. In Florida, coastal fisheries have shown tremendous progress with recovery of shark populations, as noted by the FWC in the meeting. The fear at hand by anglers is penalizing the LBSF community. These anglers, who pride themselves on a catch and release mentality, range from recreational fishermen to professional land-based charter guides. For some, this type of fishing provides a means for a way of life, while for others it’s a challenging sport unlike any other. A strong debate is embracing the positive, such as using LBSF as an opportunity for data collection and scientific research. For example, NOAA provides free tagging kits for any angler interested in tagging sharks prior to release as well as reporting tags on caught sharks. During the workshop, the FWC presented a number of topics for discussion and feedback, all of which can be found on their website in a downloadable presentation. The highlights included: 1. Special Permits for LBSF – There was overwhelming support of this by all parties (this would include education requirement with limited to no cost for the permit). 2. Restricting time/locations for LBSF – nighttime hours only and/or restrictions from certain public beaches. 3. Expanded Rules for Prohibited Species – prohibiting shorebased tournaments for certain species, restrictions on handling (keep in water), and use of specific gear to maximize survival of released sharks. While the above are merely preliminary recommendations and an outright ban on land-based shark fishing does not appear to be imminent, further data-driven research would lead to true long-term solutions for protecting sharks, supporting anglers, and informing the general public with policies that work for everyone. We shall await the decisions of the commission in December.

oling mangrove edges and flats in search of tailing and belly crawling reds is as much hunting as it is fishing. When the target is sighted and it’s time to take a shot with an 8-weight fly rod, your aim better be on target. Gillz pro staffer Noah Miller, of Melbourne, Fla., has spent the on-the-water hours it takes to consistently take reds on the fly. He’s one of those anglers who knows there are still plenty of fish in the famous inshore waters around Titusville. The Indian River, Banana River and Mosquito Lagoon might be facing water quality challenges, but the fishing remains good. Right now, during the fall mullet run and lasting into February is prime time on Florida’s east coast.
“There’s lots of forage, and the fish are happy,” Miller said of current conditions. “They’re very opportunistic this time of year and will eat almost any fly, as long as it is presented correctly.” The redfish display a lot of schooling activity in preparation for a late fall spawn. These fish are resident to their respective waters and remain there through the seasons, even during the spawn. They can be encountered in large schools of 100 fish or more, and finding them is the key to catching them. “Put in the time on the pushpole,” Miller coached. “These fish do move, but they might only be 200 yards away from where they were yesterday. If things look right and you think there should be fish around, don’t leave an area until you’re certain they’re not there.” If the fish are not visible, it is tough to catch them on a fly. With conventional gear, an angler can make long searching casts to cover water for fish that are not showing themselves. With a fly rod, you’re better off holding the fly on the deck until you spot a fish. Seeing the fish and which way it is headed allows for presentation of the fly. You want it to plop down in front of the fish and close, but not too close. “About 40 feet is the cast I like to make,” said Miller. “You’ll be able to tell if he’s seen it and is interested right away… as soon as the fly hits the water. Then you want to start stripping it away from the fish to make it look like a fleeing crab, shrimp or whatever fly you’re fishing.” Miller caught the redfish on the cover of this month’s editions of Coastal Angler Magazine in stained water with a Seaducer pattern that had purple and black hackle feathers for a tail, a black EP Fiber head and bead chain eyes. That fly worked for the 26-incher on the cover, but this time of year presentation is much more important than fly selection. Noah Miller is a Gillz (gillz-gear.com) pro-staffer and is co-owner of Florida Fly Co., which provides the things fly rodders need to fish Florida’s waters.

ontauk, NY. It’s known locally as “The End,” and it’s marketed as “The Fishing Capital of the World!” It can back up both claims. “This is an awesome place for fly- and light-tackle fall thrills says charter skipper Paul Dixon of To the Point Charters (516-314-1185; www.flyfishingmontauk.com). “During October, the inshore action with speedy false albacore, stripers and monster bluefish absolutely sizzles.” Dixon has been fishing Montauk waters for 25 years, loading customers aboard his Contender Tournament 25 and working anywhere from the shadow of Montauk’s iconic lighthouse at the tip of the South Fork to Orient Point at the eastern terminus of Long Island’s North Fork. In the winter months, he charters out of Key Largo to fish the Everglades and Florida Keys. “It’s in the rips and coves at Montauk that the fall mayhem really

comes together,” said Dixon, who loves targeting albies with fly rod in hand. Through September, you’ll find pods of Fat Alberts scattered across Long Island’s East End, but once the rainbait exits the bays, Montauk explodes with fish.” According to Dixon, at the height of the run so many bay anchovies stack up in the rips surrounding Montauk Point that the water actually appears brown with the immense schools. “At that point,” said the skipper, “the albies feed in two ways. They’ll cruise through the densest baitfish schools in tight packs, turning on their sides with their mouths open and simply strain anchovies as they move along. They are tough to hook under those conditions since they aren’t singling out specific targets. Wait a little while though, and they’ll begin to bust up the baitfish schools. That’s when the fishing absolutely breaks loose and every cast has the potential to connect.” While light-tackle fans can hook-up using small tins like a Deadly Dick or a white 1-oz. Panther Martin Big Fin swimbait, Dixon prefers the long wand when sea conditions allow. “These fish hit hard and run fast, so go with the best fly fishing gear you can afford,” he suggested. “I use Cortland Compact floating/intermediate lines, Rise fly rods and Tibor reels. For patterns, 2- to 3-inch Epoxy Minnows get the job done most of the time.” Dixon pointed out that it’s important to know exactly what you are casting for each time you let your line fly. “The albies will be slicing right through the baitfish schools, and it’s important to lead them by several feet,” he said. “The bass, meanwhile, stick close together and plow through the schools like they are mowing a lawn. For these, bring your fly right across the front of the pack. Either way, stay in the bait with each cast. If your offering lands outside of the baitfish school, it’s going to get slammed by a monster blue.” Launch your own boat at Montauk for $25 at Gone Fishing Marina (www.gonefishingmarina78.com).

O
ne of the best parts of summer ending is the beginning of fall fishing and FROGS! I love to fish topwater frogs over grass, and this time of year is prime time. I live about 45 minutes from Lake Guntersville in Alabama, and there’s no place better, or more famous, for frog fishing than Guntersville. In the parking lot this time of year, there’s no telling how many different states you will see license plates from. I’ve fished all over this country and Guntersville definitely doesn’t have a monopoly on the frog bite. It has more matted grass than other TVA lakes, but fisheries up north have loads of grass too. And the bass up north seem to be more eager to bite. I think it’s because they aren’t targeted as heavily as they are down here. If I had the opportunity to take someone out and try to get them fired up about bass fishing, I think fishing a frog over matted vegetation would be my choice. If that person’s heart rate didn’t spike when a big bass blew up through the mat on their frog, then they would be better off doing something else. And then once they’ve seen a blow-up, the excitement level for the next one is all the higher. I get a huge smile on my face every time I see it happen no matter how many thousands of times it has happened. Just watching a fish blow up on a frog is exciting, but you also need to get him in the boat for that all-important photo op or weigh-in stage. For that you must have the right

gear. If you throw a hollow frog like the one in this photo over matted grass and he bites, you probably won’t get him in using monofilament line and a rod and reel from the department store. My setup for frog fishing is a sure-fire winner. Rod: MHX FP885 with Winn split grips and Winn Grip Sleeves | Daiwa reel | 60 lb. Vicious braid | Spro frog. Give it a try this weekend. I know it will work for you.

Trailers, boats, tree stands, campers, ATVs and Kayaks are the toys we take out on every weekend, holiday and family vacation. B&W’s Tow and Stow Adjustable Ball Mount creates a simple way to enjoy all your toys without using multiple hitches. Simply adjust the mount to the desired level, select your ball size, and load up.

Every obstacle has been considered, every adventure accounted for. Simply plug and play and forget about all the extra parts and pieces you used to have to search for in your garage. Take advantage of the allin-one adjustable mount to ensure you are prepared for every outing. For the avid angler, this mount will allow you to take your boat down any boat ramp, run your kayak through any wooded trail, and keep your vessel secure no matter the distance.
