Fall Fishing: Abundance Defined
Fall fishing on the Middle Texas Coast means many things to me, but one word sums it up best — abundance.
When someone asks me, “What’s your favorite time of year to fish?” my answer has never wavered: October and November. There’s abundance in everything this season — the schools of bait, the number of anglers, and, most importantly, the sheer variety of fish. Speckled trout, redfish, black drum, flounder, sheepshead — if it swims, chances are it’s biting right now.
Yes, Fall is a busy time for most, but the best days are right around the corner. With a little help from Mother Nature, the water is cooling, tides are rising, and the October moon is about to work its magic. More water means more oxygen, which means fish come alive — and so do the anglers. Shorter days give fish more recovery time under cover of night, setting the stage for spectacular daytime action.
But here’s the catch — you have to be here to enjoy it. Make it a plan, not a wish. Dust off that boat or call your favorite captain and carve out time for yourself and your family to enjoy this angling paradise.
Whether you’re chunking bait or slinging artificials, this is the time to break out the whole tackle box. Walk a reef, stalk a lonely shoreline, and feel the thump of a hookset under crisp autumn skies. At Mid Coast Outfitters POC, we’re seeing a healthy mix of clients — some sticking with bait in the boat, others wading with lures — all sharing in the same thrill.
Let’s make this fall one for the record books. Circle those dates, grab your gear, and get here while the bite is hot — the fish won’t wait, and neither should you
