• BAIT: Obviously, mullet is the bait to use this time of the year. Full-grown mullet are great for shark and tarpon fishing. I prefer freelining finger-sized mullet, because pretty much everything eats them.

The rigging is pretty much the same if I need to beef up for larger catches. With a 2500-size setup, I’ll fish 15- to 20-pound leader. I’ll bump that up to 25- to 30-pound test on 3000-size gear for bigger fish.

TARGETING REDFISH During the Mullet Migration
In the backcountry, I like a light- to mediumaction 2000 size spinning set-up to fish 10-pound leaders and 3/0 circle hooks. I prefer Mustad hooks and tie them on with a simple loop knot. I use an FG knot to connect my leader to a braided main line. This creates a true free-line, without the added weight of a swivel.
Keep up with Skye Burkhardt on Facebook Inshore Adventures with Skye and on @brassyangler87.Instagram
Atlantic Coast of Florida experiences one of the planet’s great migrations each fall. When millions of mullet push south in giant schools toward spawning grounds off the southern end of the state, it presents an exciting prospect for fishing. It’s an event anglers anticipate all year long.
To fish with the mullet, I just follow the pods, cast to the outside of the school and open the bail to let the bait swim. When you hit it right, you can hook-up on nearly every cast, with the species changing from one cast to the next. Big gamefish tend to seek out isolated or injured mullet, which is exactly what your bait is.
Landing a bull red this time of the year is easy. With the mullet running, simply free-line a mullet or drop one on a weighted rig to land a trophy! Before you experience the drag-pulling run, you should know how to properly handle and release your fish.
This time of year, any artificial that resembles a mullet will do the trick. I like Vudu Mullet Swimbaits, Rapala X-raps, Bomber Lures Mullets,
It’s heartbreaking to see breeder fish floating due to carelessness or lack of knowledge. Hauling a big redfish up vertically onto a bridge or pier, dragging it over the rocks on a jetty or tossing it back from up high severely limits its chance of survival. Get a pier net to fish from a bridge or pier, and do everything in your power to ensure the healthy release of your fish.
Here are some tips for anglers to take advantage of the mullet run.
Free-lining sounds simple, but where you choose to fish and what you’re targeting will play a role in the set-up and rig you should use.
• TACKLE: I mainly fish inshore, so light tackle is the way for me. However, it’s important to be prepared to switch up depending on the size and species of game fish present.
Handling them with care and releasing them safely is important to the future of our fisheries. The statewide slot limit from 18 and 27 inches is intended to protect the large fish, which are part of the spawning stock.
• ARTIFICIALS: This backcountry lady angler enjoys sight fishing and scouting Mosquito Lagoon and the marshes of the Tomoka Basin along Florida’s central Atlantic Coast. I’ll target bull reds in the inlets, but I spend most days targeting snook, tarpon and slot reds in the backcountry. This style of fishing is perfect for throwing artificials on light tackle.
The mullet run doesn’t have an official start or end date. Large schools of mullet—some the size of three football fields—move south as temperatures cool. Tarpon, sharks, kingfish and redfish are just some of the gamefish that move with these pods. Most years the fishing is on fire in October and November.
• REDFISH REGULATIONS: Florida recently adopted new management plan for redfish. There are now varied regulations across nine different zones. Anglers need to understand those regulations because they’re intended to protect one of our iconic species in the face

This is the time of year that can make even me look good. The large male gags have started staging up on nearshore structures, wrecks and traditional bait-holding bottom. The scamps and large snappers have started a transitional move to their deeper wintering grounds. Water temps will soon draw a line in the water that clearly shows you where to fish.
Starting this month, the larger gags will be so close in that it’ll shock you. Don’t run too far, or you’ll run over some of the biggest fish of the year. Go wherever you jig up your cigar minnows and sardines, and the gags will be right there. When you get a few baits in the well, it’s a good idea to have at least one person put a bait right back down.
love spring and summer fishing, but let me say this loud and clear: I live for fall and winter fisheries!
Ahhhh, yeah! This is the time of plenty. Now is the time of year to have a community-sized fish stew to clear out all the vacuum-sealed stuff in the freezer. You’ve got to make some room for freezer-stuffing grouper, snapper and seabass.

the possibilities of spawning. The same places will hold large seabass, as well. I love to eat grouper, but the way I grouper fish also produces large seabass, which I think are even better than grouper in texture andScampsflavor.

I also like to take pinfish from the marina as a “bird in hand” for bottom fishing. The beauty of putting a live sardine on a jig and sending it to the bottom is that EVERYTHING down there eats them. The beauty of sending a pinfish, grass grunt or sailors choice to the bottom is that everything down there would love to eat them, but can’t. They can’t get their mouths around the bigger baits, but the ones that can are the fish you want to catch. Go enjoy the bounty of the season!
You raise the flags of the fish just caught to show you weren’t skunked.
and snappers hold a special place in my heart. Starting right now, they should be going off! It’s time consuming to stop on the way out a jig up bait. However, a 15- or 20-minute bait stop could make the difference between a good day and a great day. When you find bait in numbers, it doesn’t take long to rack up. I like to keep a Sabiki angler on each side of the boat handing me baits to dehook into a bucket in the center of the boat. Once I get 20 or so baits in the bucket, I pour them into the livewell and repeat until there’s enough.

After all, that is why the gags are there. They are eating the same baits that you’re catching. They come inshore to a place that holds bait, so all the smaller females have plenty to eat while they are discussing

Maybe that’s why I am having such a hard time losing weight?
As the water starts to cool the sh really start to move and work feeding lanes in saltwater as well as fresh. Consider using shrimp or minnow patterns on an evening outgoing tide in places like Lynnhaven Inlet and Rudee Inlet where the water has warmed and the bait is more active. ink about places that can serve as ambush locations and consider feeding those predators your particular food for them.
I think that the hardest part of catching sh in these conditions is maintaining contact with the y consistently so that you can detect the strike. Sometimes you get lucky but a lot of it involves paying attention to your cast, your line and how your y is moving in the water. To be honest most days when my wife is willing to go shing with me she catches more and bigger sh. I am convinced that she concentrates better and stays in contact with the end of the line that counts.
Speaking of feeding the sh presentation is important. ink about where you need to be with respect to current, wind, the forage in the water and likely ambush lanes. Now in all that be sneaky, don’t spook the predator or prey. Too much? Look for moving water and lay your y into it. Move as you can and/or weigh your y to put it in the sh’s strike zone and keep it there.
A word of caution. Some species are on nests and/or actively spawning. Please be mindful and try not to intentionally interfere with the process. If you happen into a spawner please be as gentle as possible and get it quickly back into the water.

Hooked on Catfishing
If the “Tactic-of-the-Moment” is oat shing with a bobber or oat, a variation of a J-Hook or Kahle Hook is in order. When shing with a oat there will be a large belly in the line. e oat does not o er enough otation or resistance to set a circle hook. is situation calls for the immediate penetration of a sharp hook point and a tight line. e best way to accomplish this is with a hook point design that points directly toward the shing line, or better yet, the rod tip. e best of all worlds here is to have the rod in hand when the bobber goes down. Give the sh a few seconds to get the hook inside its mouth, then simultaneously reel down as fast as possible and raise the rod tip to drive the hook point home. DON’T BE SHY ABOUT IT! at’s it. I only use two types of hooks when cat shing.
On hook size - Use a size compared to the size of the bait, not necessarily the sh. Small bait, small hook. Do not use such a small hook that the point is buried in the bait. I use a #6 J-hook on half of a night crawler to catch a white perch but tie an 8/O circle hook to a headpiece of that white perch to hook a 30-pound cat sh. Your mileage may vary. Clean the hook point of any bait scales and keep it exposed so it can catch and dig in.
When shing solo, this can be an ordeal, especially if the wind is howling. I need to “Spot-Lock” the trolling motor, so the boat does not dri back into the snag or see the rod ripped out of the rod holder. en, the other rigs need to be reeled in, and nally, motor the trolling motor over to the snag while reeling in the line trying to avoid running into the line and making matters worse.
I am ne-tuning my gear because the shing only gets better from here until Spring. Get out there amongst them and GET SLIMED!

A er 40-some years of doing this, I usually manage to pull the rig free. at said, I also recall moments of deep desperation having the trolling lines knitted into a sweater while the o ending snagged line wrapped around the trolling motor, and the wind blowing the boat towards a duck blind, soon to be followed by the high-pitch crack of 30-pound mono lament snapping. Ain’t shing great!
However, this time we got most of the line back on the reel without a major mishap, but the snag stole my rig. e line was severely frayed where it scraped across a likely rusty nail on the remains of an ancient duck blind piling. e worst of it was, that the last headpiece of white perch bait was on the Eagle Claw 8/0 Octopus Circle Hook now one with the piling.
It was time to tie a new rig. Here is where some folks wonder; “What hook should I use?” e cat sh tackle box on #8 carries a variety of sizes in two hook types, the aforementioned circle hook, and a J-hook. My intent is to let the sh hook itself if I am bottom shing either trolling or anchored with a spread of tight lines. Here, a slow steady hook set will occur when the sh swims away from the boat. e rod/reel is in the rod holder and the reel is in gear. Even if the sh swallows the hook, the curved point of the circle hook will allow the hook to be pulled back up towards the corner of the mouth. Here, the hook will turn, and the point will embed in the inside corner of the sh’s jaw. It works like magic. I have never gut-hooked a sh with a circle hook. Caution: do not set the hook like a bass sherman that just watched their favorite TV bass shing show. You will pull the bait right out of the sh’s mouth.
THE FLYING FISHERMAN
e other day I was dragging the bottom when suddenly the tip of my starboard planner rod bent over. I just knew this was the “Big One!” And it was the biggest … tree root, submerged log, duck blind piling, or wreck that I had ever snagged my terminal tackle on.
Trigger sh and seabass are much tastier than candy corn. O shore tuna will be ready to pounce trolled ballyhoo. Enjoy this month as it’s a great month to sh. Enjoy spectacular sunsets with the cooling fall salty air!

TAKE A BOAT RIDE! BOATING & TOWING: Proper Boat Navigation Lighting
COAST GUARD REGS -
you have a boat, chances are you don’t limit your use to daytime fun only; a dusk or nighttime cruise can be a great way to relax and spend an enjoyable few hours a er dinner. Whether you’re on a little pond, a wide river or a big lake, you must be safe and legal on your nighttime sojourns. In this article, we’ll look at proper and legal navigation lighting for your boat.
sailboats under power (or combination power and sail) should display the same lights as powerboats. Sailboats (and also rowboats, canoes, and other paddle/oar powered cra ) under 23 feet in length must at least be able to display a white light (such as a ashlight or lantern) that can be displayed in time to preventGenerally,collision.navigation lights must be clearly visible at dusk and at night and in periods of low visibility (fog, etc.). ey must be operable by the vessel captain, and installed/positioned in such fashion so that the bow lights (red for port, green for starboard) and the stern light (also called the anchor light) are securely installed and easily visible by other boaters. No other lights can interfere with the direct line of vision of these navigation lights. e anchor light must be elevated above the stern of the boat.
4) Mood and underwater lighting are very popular additions to new and older boats. You must be sure that your accessory lighting doesn’t interfere, confuse or block your regular navigation lighting.
INSTALLATION - While many shy away from anything electrical, installing 12-volt navigation lights is an easy and quick job. Required is 12-volts positive power and a negative ground. Each light has a positive and negative wire. A er installing the light, both wires are run to the dash area, where the positive wire is connected to an on/o switch and the negative wire directly to a ground post. at’s it; the dash switch operates the lights such that you can turn on the anchor/stern light only (for atnight anchoring or mooring), or both anchor and navigation lights.
What about when you’re anchored, maybe shing or just taking a quick break? At night or in low visibility, the stern/anchor light must be displayed, and it must be visible 360 degrees—in all directions.
1) While the anchor light may be bright enough to interfere with nighttime vision, never black out or otherwise block it from forward
WHAT TYPE? - Navigation and anchor lights are readily available at marine dealers, online resellers, and catalog retailers. ere are literally dozens of types, sizes and brands to choose from. Newest are LED lights that use less power and provide better, brighter and longer-lasting illumination. Bow lights are available in permanent and removable styles, even separate green/red or combined. Stern lights are also available in permanent mount or removable styles.
5) With the popular trend of electric trolling motors being added to center-console boats and larger boats that didn’t typically have these motors before, be sure that the bow light visibility is not blocked or hampered by the trolling motor and bracket.

I raised my son taking him on many o shore bottom shing trips starting when he was only about 4 years old. He LOVED it then and loves it now. He turned out to be a great and wonderful grown man. A geologist who has a passion for all things outdoors. Living in Colorado he certainly lives in outdoor nirvana, but he does miss the ocean. We always tried to keep our kids very busy in all activities and it must have worked because both my son and daughter turned out to be fantastic people. We never had a problem with either one raising them. Just awesome.

During September we saw a lot of nice sea bass action o shore several trips and one special trip with my son Ben Baugh.
I talk abut this because the charter boats that go out for bottom shing is a great vehicle to take your kids and family out for an awesome day on the water. JBOTV has lmed charter boats up and down the east coast and always produced good shows. Living in Virginia my entire life, I usually frequent the Fishing Center out of Rudee and go out on one of their o shore charters. It is an incredible way to spend the day on the water and let someone else drive the boat and having all those mates to rig your lines is wonderful for both the kids and adults. October is a great month to go out and catch some black willies; book a charter today.
For those of you that remember Frank White the Southern Sportsman, he used to close out every one of his TV shows with this saying, “Do yourself a favor, and take a kid shing”. I think old Frank hit that one right on the mark. RIP Frank White.

ell it’s been several months since I have written an article and wanted to put something together to honor my dad.
As the title says, “when life throws you a curve ball” what do you do? You go shing. Here’s the back story. My brother and I grew up in Michigan shing the great lakes and pretty much all the rivers on the west coast of the state. We spent many of nights on the river banks with our father salmon and steelhead shing. I can remember dad making his camp re beer chili and making sure the re kept going throughout the night so he wouldn’t get cold. Long story short we moved away for military and to start our families. Man how time ies and you lose track of the small things. Well 20 years go by without shing with my dad and what a hit to the chest when he was diagnosed with cancer.
Fast forward a couple months and I get a call from my mother. Hey son your dad wants to go shing with you two boys, can you set that up? Yep I can do that mom. Well dad wanted to go o shore so I got my brother involved as he knows the Gulf of Mexico a little better than me. We get everything set up to sh out of Venice, LA and wouldn’t you know, a hurricane came in the weekend we were supposed to sh. Well darn, let’s get it rescheduled and wouldn’t you know

o shore oil rigs. Once we get to the grounds it was just a matter of minutes and we had our rst sh on and wouldn’t you know it was a big one. One of our friends pulled the rst sh so he got settled in for the long haul. 2 hours later we put a 150 # yellow n in the boat. We set the lines back out and bam round two. is one is dads. We get him settled in and putting a beating on the sh but the sh got the best of him a er about 30 minutes. He hands the rod o proudly knowing that he’s 75 years old and gave it hell for 30 minutes on what would turn out to be another 150 # class sh lost at the boat.Ilost my dad to cancer on February 13, 2022. Here’s the moral to the story, don’t let 20 years go by between shing trips with your loved ones. Before you know it you will be setting up funeral services wishing you had just went one more time. Get out on the water if it’s just getting a hook wet and catching nothing, I know with all my heart they will be happy and enjoy the time spent with you. I want to thank Brenda with the magazine for being patient with me as we worked through the loss of my mother and my father 3 months apart. ank you ma’am.

If you ever get the chance to fish the Kenai Peninsula, you will love it. Get a group of friends, do some research and go. Fish with a guide or on your own. There are so many options and so many fish that it’s hard not to have an amazing adventure.
Gary Turner is a long-time contributor to The Angler Magazine. Contact him at gary@purgeright.com.
We also fished from a boat on the Kenai River, where anchored to deploy small Kwikfish. These lures settle into the current near the bottom and vibrate. Fish swimming upstream see them and attack. Unlike the red salmon, which aren’t interested in eating, the pink (humpback) and silver (coho) salmon jumped all over this setup.

laska’s Kenai Peninsula is a world-renowned fishery, known for all of its salmon runs, of which the Kenai River king salmon run is the most famous. The saltwater fishing out of Homer, Deep Creek and Seward are also amazing. I’ve been to Alaska fishing several times, and this year I fished the fresh and the salt with five friends who were all on their first trip. Here’s a quick look at what we did in freshwater. I’ll write about our saltwater adventures in the future.
Last, but not least, we fished Skilak Lake, which feeds the Kenai River from the center of the peninsula. This was my favorite place to fish. It is as beautiful as it is full of fish. We stayed 18 days in Alaska and spent our 17th on Skilak, where we slayed the fish. We landed and released more than 100 reds, silvers and trout that day! It was a great note to end our trip.
Our lodging was in Soldotna, near the mouth of the Kenai River on Cook Inlet. That’s where we fished the Kenai River for red (sockeye) salmon. The famous king salmon season closed before we arrived this year, or we would have been fishing for them. We “flossed” for reds, which is a technique used in rivers to catch salmon that are more interested in their spawning run than they are in feeding. Basically, you use a weighted leader. As pods of fish swim upstream, the line threads an open mouth and you snag the fish when the hook pulls tight. This was combat-style fishing. We stood a rod’s length from other anglers, and it was mayhem when someone hooked up.
Catch Amazing Action on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula
Twice, we traveled northeast by van to Hope, Alaska, where we fished for pinks in Resurrection Creek. They were so thick that we stayed busy catching and releasing them after we all caught our limits. On our second trip to Resurrection, we went in search of silvers but they had not arrived yet, so we caught pinks
again. It was so fun!
Second only to the Kenai’s fishing is the scenery. There is a majestic feel to this area. The views are beautiful, there is amazing wildlife and tons of stuff to see. We saw it all as we drove all over the place chasing fish.
We also ventured south from Soldotna to the Kasilof River and caught salmon and trout. We crossed the peninsula to Seward and fished the Resurrection River for silvers, pinks and dog (chum) salmon. The river was full of fish, so we fished until it was too dark to see the bears and called it a day at midnight.

advertise their suitability as mates. The big boys spar with each other for the opportunity to fertilize eggs. They become ornery, and are cocked to lash out at anything that catches their eye.
On large or small water, pre-spawn browns will hit bigger flies than you’d think they would. This could be a 2- to 3-inch-long Woolly Bugger on a mountain stream or a 6-inch-long articulated pattern on a big river. Either way, it’s a game of covering water persistently and presenting the fly to as many fish as possible.
“A productive day is relative. When you’re throwing a 10-foot 7-weight and a 250-grain full sinking line with 3 feet of 20-lb. monofilament, you’re not really going for numbers anymore,” said McCrickard. “You’re looking for one, maybe two fish. You kind of have to go out there with the mentality of, ‘I might get skunked today, but I might catch my best fish of the year… or the best fish I’ve caught in the last five years.’”
L
ust and jealousy make males of many species do stupid things they wouldn’t normally do. This is true for humans and whitetail deer, and it’s also true for brown trout, which grow aggressive this time of year as they gear up for the spawn.
On a big tailwater, McCrickard gears up with 250-grain sinking line and runs a short 3-foot leader of 0x tippet. If the water is dingy, he’ll fish 3 feet of straight 20-pound monofilament.
By Nick Carter
“If I have that fish that’s two feet or larger, I’m feeling really confident having that fish on 20-pound as opposed to having it on 2x,” he said.
Alex McCrickard has a go-big or go-home attitude when it comes to fall browns. He’s a former fly fishing guide and the current aquatic education coordinator for the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources. As the days grow shorter, McCrickard breaks out his heavy 6- and 7-weight rods to sling big streamers.Onsmaller streams, he’ll fish floating line with a 9-foot leader that tapers down to no lighter than 2x tippet. The long leader allows a weighted streamer to get down in the water column, and 2x has a breaking strength of about 10 pounds. It’s more than enough to handle the 14- to 20-inchers you might encounter in a creek or stream.
Across the East, brown trout spawn in a window that runs from midSeptember into December. Males and females of the species leave their summer lies to strike out upstream in search of spawning habitat. They are on the move and more visible to anglers than at any other time of year.
The timing is different on every piece of water, but October is thought to be the peak of pre-spawn behavior for most streams and rivers. Since big browns are more aggressive than they are at any other time of year, anglers who target them should fish aggressively.
While the females become preoccupied with cutting nests, called redds, on shallow gravel bars in moving water, the males put on bright colors to

The angler, 59-year-old Cary Carney, was fishing aboard the 32-foot Willow B, which was captained by his son Brandon Carney. They were fishing in about 1,300 feet of water on Aug. 21, when the big broadbill ate a strip of albacore belly. They had the fish on an electric Diawa MP3000 reel, but a blown fuse rendered it inoperable. Carney buckled down and cranked the fish in by hand on 65-pound test line.
Two hours later, the big fish was boatside. They roped its tail and used the T-top as a pulley to bring it onboard. It measured 104 inches fork length and had a 53-inch girth.

The beauty of Amber comes from the fossilized resin of trees. 40 million years ago, this resin was exuded by trees to heal damage to a branch or trunk. Endowed with the ability to produce negative ions, amber has been made into a variety of decorative objects; used in jewelry, and as a healing agent in traditional folk medicine. Baltic Amber from around the Baltic Sea also contains a higher percentage of succinite, which acts as an anti-inflammatory and an analgesic when worn against the skin.
