Changing Seasons Fishing Report, and More!

Thank you for reading this week’s Changing Seasons Fishing Report, and more! Got out twice this week, both times by myself.

Mushrooms

Last week I wrote about the mushroom grow kit from northspore.com. We ate mushrooms last week, and there’s another flush we’ll be eating today. How long will it keep producing? I don’t know, but I aim to find out. To learn more, go to https://northspore.com.

Flies, Again

Talking about the synthetic minnow, last week I wrote, “If anyone needs tying instructions, let me know and I will make a new webpage with them.” You know someone did. Here’s the link- https://www.spottedtail.com/free-florida-fishing-informatio/tying-the-synthetic-minnow/

Emails

By way of explanation- until recently I had three email accounts. Two were under spottedtail. One is gmail. I’ve had the spottedtail accounts a long time, and get massive amounts of spam. Last week I deleted one of the spottedtail accounts (and am considering deleting the other one). The spam was out of control.

The spottedtail accounts forward to the gmail account. The gmail spam filter is efficient. Unfortunately, several readers emailed me at the spottedtail account, which I check only weekly at most, and gmail treated their emails as spam.

If you have sent me an email and I did not respond, I did not see it. My most sincere apologies! I often think this technology stuff just serves to further separate us from each other. I will try to check the spottedtail account more often.

FISHING and other…

Tuesday
Went paddling on the Indian River Lagoon. Wind was out of the west for the first time in a long time. No bites, no bites, no bites. Most of the tarpon seem to be gone. Water is definitely colder.

Stood up and started paddling the shoreline. It was hard to see anything! All the snook seem to be gone too, and although there weren’t a lot, there were more redfish than I would have expected. I managed to get a slot red on the rubber shad, the only bite I got.

Wednesday
Went to Playalinda to take advantage of that west wind. What a sunrise!

There were enormous numbers of fish. Sadly, they were all beyond the breakers. I would have needed a bazooka to reach them. After an hour of frustration, and a single, small ladyfish, I gave up the beach and went paddling on the Indian River Lagoon.

The few redfish I saw either fled from my cast, spooked off the fly, or got ran over by the kayak. Did not get a bite.

Thursday
The first cold front of the season blew through! Rain, lightning, wind- it was glorious! Thus the changing season fishing report!

That’s it for this week. Thank you again for reading this Changing Season Fishing Report and More. Life is great and I love all my readers!

Every day is a blessing. Don’t waste it- Go fishing! Go paddling! Take a walk! Stay active!
