FM Talk 1065 Fishing Report 10-03-24
and it is time for the FM talk one of six five fishing report brought you by McCoy outdoor company and the star of the show cat and Bobby ever scotto from 18 fishing man it's October it's is it fall fishing yet Bobby it I'll tell you what the air temperature in the middle of the day still feels like summer but in the morning there's a bit of a chill in the air but the fish have somehow reacted to it I guess the water temperatures got enough to where like you and I were talking about just what went on the air just stuff's already starting to happen and stuff we were expecting there's a lot of shrimp on the move both up the bay and down through the Mississippi sound areas some of the areas a little earlier than I really thought it was going to be where we're seeing shrimp activity with shrimp being on the move moving up into the tidal river systems where they'll spend the next probably month and a half or so and of course when they're moving like that they're easy prey and that's when they get run to the surface and of course you know what happens from there it's just kind of just crazy fishing and we've had a couple of those days over the last several days with that fish and you can fish when they're doing that you can just about catching on anything we had the fortune of catching them on top water which is not the preferred method of fishing under birds fortunately some of the fish we were on that were running shrimp the birds hadn't found yet so we were able to throw top water and the only reason I caution you about that is when you're throwing top water around bird schools not only to the trout like it but the birds like it too so you got to be a little bit careful with the lures you're throwing the ideal thing is either a single hook saw plastic bait like a grub with maybe a light jig head the ideal thing for me is as a cork with some kind of shrimp imitation because you're holding that that bait up in the strike zone those you know keeping in mind that when the shrimp from the surface of the fish are up towards the surface too and so that's the ideal method but whatever you choose to do when you see that happen just by fishing smart not spooking the schools this is the time of year you can really have some incredible action on the on trout trout fishing when you shrimp are on the move during these transitional periods you think it's too early for us to do the public service announcement about how to be smart on the school how to approach school and not run them off it probably wouldn't be bad that idea to mention it is just and the key to the whole thing if you just stop and think for a second and figure out which way your boat's gonna drift and set your drift up and you're casting up from that direction in other words that's always going to be upwind and you don't want to run through the diving spurs the school of fish to get upwind you want to make a big loop around them don't be in a hurry because they're not going anywhere and if you take those extra few minutes or extra few seconds in some cases to set that up set that drift up smart you can stay on those fish for a long time so that's the key and we'll mention this again i'm sure because it's such an important part of this type of fishing so up the bay i mean we've been talking about this last few weeks uh fish moving up the bay up the bay up the bay so not that there's not fish at the south end but people who like to fish the northern part of mobile bay and maybe eventually the delta it's it's starting to look a lot better starting to look a lot better like it's getting ready to happen and um and on that subject we ran a trip last week uh and uh multi-boat trip and some of the guys actually fished some of the structure up in the bay some of the deeper structure and caught fish slip cork and shrimp so that goes on to don't think it's all just bird school fishing there's there's a lot of fish hanging out on that structure you know if you like doing that kind of fishing too and you're in your you run bird schools and the bird squid dive and that's certainly another option to add to the to the uh day especially a little later in the morning good stuff bobby somebody wants to get in on one of these trips or looking at this fall fishing going ahead how do they get it booked just go to a team fishing dot com um that's our website and it's got all of our trip information on there our new phone number which you can read just that or you can just go ahead and go through the email that would contact us for them and we'll get back in touch with you and get you booked up all right captain bobby we appreciate it we'll do it again next week yeah okay my friend i hope you have a great weekend you too captain bobby ever scotto in the fm talk one oh six five fishing report brought you by mccoy outdoor company [BLANK_AUDIO]
