Crack The Mullet Run Code

Four tactics for catching big coastal fish during the fall bait run. Among the first places I look when the mullet come to town are seawalls, bulkheads and rocky shorelines, places where predatory fish can pin the baitfish.

Dania Beach Hoo

Florida Sportsman Member: abm5926 The past 2 days, I’ve hit up barrier islands in the Intracoastal Water Way in my kayak looking for reds and gator trout. Didn’t catch any real gators but got lots and lots of redfish all on topwater, z man paddlerz, and manic shrimp.

Diving Daredevils Plunge Deep For Thrills

Some of us can hold our breath for 45 seconds, maybe one minute. If we’re lucky. Can you imagine doing it for four minutes? “I’m the best looking of all these guys. You know that right?” joked Captain Carl Starling.

Lake Okeechobee Bassin’

Florida Sportsman member: Bass2bucks There’s no doubt those bigger fish are staging and about to move into spawn, it’s just a matter of time before the lake pops off and those big 30 plus pound bags are brought to the scales. We did manage to catch probably 20 to 30 fish and only one bigger fish at 5 pounds.
