Fall Surf Fishing Season

When does the best action start. Still 90 temps outside so I dont think the water has started cooling yet. Should I wait another couple weeks or is now the time to begin…

IOP water temp was 83 Mon. down 3 in a week. The days are getting shorter and I have seen some leaves falling. This coming up full moon should kick it off. ( for Bull reds ). I’ll be keepin’ an eye on the inshore/offshore reports for numbers of big Reds at the jetties, that would indicate they are moving out to spawn. The Folly pier guys will be screaming as well. Saint Helena Sound should be producing NOW? Maybe south Edisto beach? If you have a friend on Harbor Island, fish in there back yard! The Reds will be on our beaches soon enough. Gotta keep lines in though. I’m gonna try and fish Fri,Sat,Sun,Mon,Tues,Wed around the full moon. I have set a goal for myself, 50 Reds over 30" before Christmas. :stuck_out_tongue:

^ that happens in the Spring.

surf action turns hot once the Fall mullet begin to run strong.
