The calendar shifts to early fall, and many outdoorsmen across the whitetail’s range are thinking about deer season and the rut.

Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “On Saturday, Oct. 24, the water temp was still 76 degrees. The last few weeks has had some real interesting fishing. A lot of big redfish have been caught, along with a lot of slot-limit fish. We have caught a lot of 30- to 40-lb. redfish. November should be some…

I was watching a school of menhaden, also called pogies, getting attacked from big fish on all sides. I had a client with a rod ready to throw a hooked pogie into the fray. A perfect cast, and we had a tarpon 6 feet in the air peeling line off a reel like a hooked…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Judy Helmey reports, “Redfish, spotted seatrout, flounder, whiting and sharks can be caught just about anywhere while fishing the sounds and beachfronts.
