Fishing Report

As waters cool, trout get on the move and get more aggressive as they prepare to feed more heavily in preparation of their spawn. We are seeing the trout start to move a little shallower as the temperatures in the bay cool off slightly, says Captain Dylan Hubbard of Hubbard's Marina.

Pompano bite has started to pick up. It?s still early but we are going to see more and more of these guys through the fall period as we look forward to their return to the beaches, says Captain Dylan Hubbard of Hubbard's Marina.

Amberjack appear to be most active and concentrated past 140 feet of water, but you can find them a little shallower too. However, deeper you go the bigger they get, says Captain Dylan Hubbard of Hubbard's Marina.

You can find trout around those deeper flats and they are steadier even during the day. However, the dock lights at night are a great place to find them, but the full moon coming up does disrupt that pattern, giving them enough light to still feed actively through the night without congregating around the local dock lights of the area, says Captain Dylan Hubbard of Hubbard's Marina.

Lately, there has been a killer red grouper bite near shore. Unfortunately, it seems the red grouper bite is only getting better and better, but anglers will likely see an announcement next week that red grouper will be closing for the year due to the 'ACL,' or 'Annual Catch Limit' being met or projected to be met, says Captain Dylan Hubbard of Hubbard?s Marina.

Redfish action is hot lately with one of the best redfish bites this time of year we have seen in a very long while, says Captain Dylan Hubbard with Hubbard's Marina.

Mahi mahi are showing up by surprise on many near shore trips right now. This is the time of the year you want to have a spinning rod and reel on standby rigged and ready for those passing mahi mahi schools, says Captain Dylan Hubbard of Hubbard's Marina.

Amberjack action continues to impress many around the area from around 140 to 250 feet of water. We are seeing many more amberjack than we had anticipated in this warmer time of year, says Captain Dylan Hubbard of Hubbard's Marina.

Anglers are looking forward to fishing the backside of the named storm, Fred, hoping that the fish will be hungry on the first quarter moon phase after not feeding for a few days as well, says Captain Dylan Hubbard from Hubbard's Marina.

Amberjack season is open until the end of October. They are tricky to find in large concentrations of keeper-size, however, anglers are getting lucky from time to time, explained Captain Dylan Hubbard of Hubbard's Marina.
