The winds have been howling out of the north east for two straight days now and it looks like the real fall bite has at long last begun. This morning was a bit slow despite a massive bait presence in the form of mullet and giant black clouds of glass minnows with only a few over sized snook and a couple of keeper reds coming over the rails before nine AM. The afternoon was a different matter all together. Spanish mackerel, jacks, blues and ladies all made an exceptionally strong showing all along the beach side of the north jetty. Best bet for the toothy critters has been a Gotcha lure in chrome with a red head fished on 30lb flourocarbon and used in conjunction with a light spinning rod and 12lb line. If you can make it out to the inlet in the next few days, bring plenty of spare lures and be prepared to get wet as the seas are expected to pick up substantially due to increasingly strong north to north east winds.
