Tips
Early Fall: Trout on Croakers and pumpkinseed Bass Assassins, Norton
Sand Eels, and Hogies. Look around the North Jetty for good
results.
Move offshore and target Kingfish, amberjack, red snapper, and Dorado.
Bait your hook with shrimp and fish for redfish or trout on the jetty
too.
Ling, amberjack, kingfish, and tuna are also promising offshore!
Summer: Trout on live bait at the jetty, shark on finger mullet there.
Offshore is good for ling, snapper, wahoo, and kingfish.
Winter: Trout and redfish on topwaters near the East Flats, or fish
under a popping cork with live shrimp. Use redkillers and
tandem rig fresh, dead shrimp along the drop offs to fish for trout!
