Juvenile Tripletail
Caught a glowing yellow object out of the corner of my eye while fishing a canal. Turned out to be a small tripletail. 
I lured it over with a shrimp for a photo-op. My 1st tripletail photos!
Red Snapper and Speck Season Closing Nov. 1st
Recreational Gulf red snapper and South Fla. spotted seatrout seasons close Nov. 1
The recreational harvest seasons for red snapper in the Gulf of Mexico and spotted seatrout in South Florida will close on Nov. 1. These closures occur each year to help rebuild overfished red snapper stocks in the Gulf and maintain the abundance of spotted seatrout in Florida waters. The recreational harvest and possession of red snapper is prohibited beginning Nov. 1 in Gulf state waters. The recreational harvest of red snapper in Gulf federal waters closed on Aug. 5. The red snapper sport season is scheduled to reopen on April 15 in Gulf state waters and on June 1 in Gulf federal waters.For spotted seatrout, all harvest and possession is prohibited from Nov. 1 through Dec. 31 in all waters south of the Flagler-Volusia county line in the Atlantic and south of a line running due west from the westernmost point of Fred Howard Park Causeway, which is about 1.17 miles south of the Pinellas-Pasco county line in the Gulf.

Snook on the Move Again
Snook are starting to begin their cold water migrations in off of the beaches and into the bays eventually finding their way up into the canals and rivers in search of a warm place to wait out the cold. While there are still quite a few fish on the beach I would start looking toward targeting them on the lights at night near a pass or open bay. The bite was really good last winter and I think it will be better this year!!!
