Hello, caudill75, and welcome to the Forum. If will click on the Q & A page, you will find the answers to every fishing question anyone has asked; spend some time between now and October reading the posts. Hope this helps, and good luck.
Also use the search feature. There are answers to pretty much all of these questions already throughout the forum.
Thanks guys, New to forum still trying to figure it out.
Go to the reports section and keep going back until you get to October of each year. Use bull minnows or live shrimp on a carolina rig with a 1/0 kahle hook around the drop offs in the lagoon near the pass and around the pilings if you fish the pier.
Thanks, Any words of advice using plastic and a jig head? I thinking of staying in the Sea oats condo's any good fishing around there?
Also check out Compass Point Condos, stayed there last week, caught a lot of redfish.
In a kayak in October, I am SO fishing lighted docks at night for speckled trout, redfish, and flounder with a paddletail plastic bait. They're not hitting at the top, then, so you'll want to fish the middle or bottom 1/3 of the water column. with a nice steady retrieve. You know how during the summer you'll catch a couple and the bite will slow down and you'll need to move to another dock? It's less that way in October, where you can catch several fish in a row. I think at one time I had 10 on 10 consecutive casts (specks)! And they weren't pecking at it - They were inhaling it! 3" size bait was working well for me. If you're interested in JUST flounder, you'll want to utilize the search feature and find techniques specific to that one fish AND consult the fishing professionals at J & M Tackle for rigging and bait tips.
I like the paddletail bait for two main reasons: First, it's durable. I've used twister-tail grubs in the past and done really well with them, but fish are real bad to bite the tails off without getting the hook. I don't have nearly as many bite-offs with paddletails. The other reason is that they catch game fish that I like to catch and keep - specs, slot reds, and flounder and I'm fine catching any of these.
