21 NOV 2024 · As of November 21, 2024, the fishing scene in the Gulf of Mexico, Florida, is looking promising despite some challenges from red tide.
**Weather and Tides:**
The water temperatures are still in the mid-70s, which is slightly warmer than usual for this time of year. Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 75°F and a low of 65°F. Tides are moderate, with a high tide at around 10:30 AM and a low tide at 4:30 PM, making the early morning and late afternoon ideal for fishing.
**Sunrise and Sunset:**
Sunrise is at 6:45 AM, and sunset is at 5:15 PM, giving you ample daylight to hit your favorite spots.
**Fish Activity:**
The fall mullet run is in full swing, attracting larger predatory species like tarpon, kingfish, and redfish. Yesterday, anglers reported catching several redfish in the 20-25 inch range, along with some snook and speckled trout. The red tide, although present in some areas, has not significantly impacted fishing in all regions. However, it's crucial to check the latest red tide reports, especially in Southwest Florida where bloom concentrations have been observed in counties like Sarasota and Charlotte[2].
**Best Lures and Bait:**
For targeting redfish and snook, topwater lures and soft plastics like shrimp or crab imitations are effective. Live bait such as mullet, pinfish, and shrimp are also highly recommended. For tarpon and kingfish, use larger lures like spoons or jigs, or live bait like blue runners or herring.
**Hot Spots:**
- **Boca Grande Pass:** Known for its tarpon and snook fishing, this area is particularly active during the fall mullet run.
- **Sarasota Bay:** Despite some red tide presence, this bay remains a hotspot for catching redfish, snook, and speckled trout.
- **Destin:** The waters off Destin are great for catching a variety of species including redfish, tarpon, and kingfish, especially around the nearshore reefs and wrecks.
Remember to stay updated on the red tide status and adjust your fishing plans accordingly. With the right gear and knowledge of the local conditions, you're set for a successful day on the water.

17 NOV 2024 · As of November 17, 2024, the fishing scene in the Gulf of Mexico along Florida's Gulf Coast is looking promising, despite some recent challenges.
### Weather and Tides
The weather has been a bit unpredictable, with strong winds blowing lately, but it's starting to settle down. Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a gentle breeze out of the northwest. Tides are moderate, with a high tide around 10:30 AM and a low tide at 4:30 PM. Sunrise is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:23 PM.
### Fish Activity
Fish activity has been steady, particularly for those targeting inshore species. Yesterday saw a good bite for snook, redfish, and speckled trout. Offshore, anglers reported catching sharks, mahi-mahi, and blackfin tuna.
### Catches
In the inshore waters, anglers were successful in catching snook, redfish, and speckled trout in decent numbers and sizes. For example, a group fishing with Captain Wade near St. Petersburg caught a satisfying amount of snook, redfish, and speckled trout[5].

14 NOV 2024 · As of November 14, 2024, the fishing scene in the Gulf of Mexico, particularly along Florida's Gulf Coast, is mixed due to various environmental and weather conditions.
### Weather and Tides
The weather remains warm, with highs near 90 degrees, and there is a possibility of a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, which could impact fishing conditions. Tides are moderate, with a high tide expected around 10:00 AM and a low tide around 4:00 PM.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at approximately 6:45 AM, and sunset is around 5:20 PM, providing a good window for both morning and evening fishing trips.
### Fish Activity
Fish activity has been affected by the presence of red tide. According to the latest reports, the red tide organism *Karenia brevis* was detected in several areas along the Gulf Coast, particularly in Southwest Florida. This has led to background to low concentrations of *K. brevis* in counties such as Pinellas, Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, and Lee, causing some respiratory irritation and fish kills in these areas[1].
### Types and Amounts of Fish
Despite the red tide, some fish are still active. Inshore waters are seeing catches of redfish, tarpon, and snook, especially in areas less affected by the red tide. Offshore, there have been reports of catches including grouper and snapper, although the recent red snapper season closure for federal for-hire vessels has just been announced to reopen on November 18, 2024[5].
### Best Lures and Bait
For inshore fishing, light tackle and fly fishing are recommended. Use lures such as spoons, jigs, and soft plastics to target redfish and snook. For tarpon, live bait like mullet or pinfish is effective. Offshore, use deep-diving lures or live bait like sardines and shrimp to target grouper and snapper.
### Hot Spots
- **Boca Grande Pass**: Known for its tarpon fishing, this area remains a hot spot despite the red tide, as it is less affected.
- **Charlotte Harbor**: This area is good for inshore fishing, targeting species like redfish and snook, and is relatively less impacted by the current red tide conditions.
Remember to check the latest red tide updates and fish kill reports before heading out, as conditions can change rapidly. Always practice safe and responsible fishing.

3 NOV 2024 · If you're heading out to the Gulf of Mexico along Florida's coast today, November 3rd, you're in for a treat. The weather is looking pleasant, with mild temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to the mid-70s, and partly cloudy skies. Expect a gentle breeze out of the northeast, making for a comfortable day on the water.
Sunrise was at about 7:34 AM, and sunset will be around 6:53 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to fish. Tides are crucial this time of year; today's high tide is at 10:35 AM and low tide at 4:15 PM. These tidal changes are key for activating fish activity.
The fall mullet run is in full swing, and this has brought a variety of predators into the area. Yesterday saw a lot of action from redfish, trout, and even some cobia. Redfish were particularly active in the flats around Apalachicola, Dog Island near Carrabelle, and the flats of Eastpoint around Yents Bayou. Anglers reported catching several redfish in the 20-25 inch range and trout up to 18 inches.
For inshore fishing, target redfish in shallow bays and estuaries using cut bait or jigs. Trout fishing should be good in areas with grass flats and deeper channels, such as around Fort De Soto, Clearwater Bay, and Anclote Key. Live shrimp or artificial lures like the Savage Gear Manic Shrimp under a popping cork work well for trout.
Offshore, cobia were active around channel markers and buoys, with some catches reported near the passes on either end of St. George Island. Gag grouper season is open, so head to deeper waters and try bottom fishing with live bait or heavy jigs. Kingfish can be found near reefs and wrecks; troll with live bait or spoons to entice a strike.
Snook, although out of season, can still be found around mangrove shorelines and structures. Practice catch and release if you hook one.
Hot spots to consider include the Mosquito Lagoon and the inshore waters of Jupiter and Palm Beach, where tarpon, snook, and redfish have been particularly active. Also, check out the areas around Postun Bayou, where redfish are gathering around docks and flats as the water cools.
Remember to match your tackle to the species you’re targeting and always check the latest fishing regulations before heading out. Enjoy your day on the water
