The Daily Catch | Fishing report – September 2023

September has been an exciting month for fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, offering anglers a blend of action both on the surface and below. With the changing season, we’ve seen a great mix of species, perfect for anglers looking to enjoy the diverse fishing opportunities Clearwater Beach has to offer.

Trolling for Spanish Mackerel & Barracuda: Surface Action at Its Best

For those who love the thrill of trolling, Spanish Mackerel have been providing plenty of action. These speedy fish have been active, feeding aggressively, which makes for exciting non-stop bites. We’ve been successfully targeting them with a variety of lures, providing anglers with a chance to reel in these fast and fun fighters.

We’ve also been getting in on the action with Barracuda, using ballyhoo and various lures while trolling. Barracuda are known for their aggressive strikes and their powerful runs, offering a great challenge for those looking to test their skills. These toothy predators are a blast to catch and add a bit of excitement to any trip.

Bottom Fishing: Consistent Action with Grunts and More

For anglers who prefer bottom fishing, the action has been steady. Grunts have been plentiful, providing consistent bites and an enjoyable experience for those looking to fill the cooler. In addition to grunts, we’ve also been catching a variety of other species, making bottom fishing a great option for anglers of all levels.

Combining Techniques on Longer Trips: The Best of Both Worlds

For those looking for a more diverse fishing experience, our longer trips (8-12 hours) offer a perfect combination of trolling and bottom fishing. This mix allows anglers to target different species and techniques throughout the day, maximizing their time on the water and increasing the chances of landing a variety of fish. Whether you’re after the thrill of a big catch on the surface or prefer the steady action of bottom fishing, these trips provide the ideal balance.
