Every fisherman knows that as soon as the weather cools down the action inshore and offshore starts to heat up! Fishing between September through November is one of the best times to fish in Florida. When it comes to fish, this is their migration time and they come closer to the warmer, shore waters. Which means you can expect big predator fish in the area. So, you’re Fall fishing in Florida and want to know what’s biting?
In September, the activity does pick back up with tons of bottom fish ready to be reeled in. During this month, you can find blue marlin, swordfish, yellow fin tuna, mahi-mahi, and other fish. These fishes are going to present you with just the right amount of challenge to catch and enjoy a super fun fishing trip.
Blue Marlin
Blue marlin can be found chasing schools of pelagic species and will crash the party when trolling for dolphin. Fishing for Blue Marlin in Stuart, FL is most productive around the full Moon. Focus your efforts on the humps and canyons in the Gulf Stream.
Swordfish
Swordfishing is not for the timid. This magnificent creature that lives 30 years and can reach 1,200 lbs. at 14 feet long lurks in the deep waters of the Gulf Stream offering lucky anglers a brutal fight and trophy size fish. And they are excellent eating. Once hooked this aggressive Billfish are known to shoot straight out of the water from a depth of 500 feet in an instant then dive straight back down to the same depth offering one of the most exciting catches of your life.
Yellowfin Tuna
The Yellowfin Tuna will be 60 to 80 miles off the coast of Stuart and The REEL BUSY is the perfect combination of speed, comfort and fish-ability for an east side Tuna Trip. The Blackfin Tuna are found much closer to the coast of Stuart, Florida and range in size from 5 to 25 pounds.
Mahi-mahi
Mahi-mahi, otherwise known as Dolphinfish, travel in schools and can be found offshore but often wander closer to the shore in the summer—making them a popular inshore fishing target—during the summer months by both beginner and experienced fishermen.
