Fall is my favorite time of year in the Florida Keys.

Little Torch Key - Saltwater Fishing Report
http://sightfishfloridakeys.com/_fishing_report
1. The best months for bonefish.. On the right tides and the right days, you can find bonefish, tailing and waking..
2. Great time of year to find juvenile tarpon rolling on the surface.
Weather here this time of year can be warm. Not too bad if you are out on the water. Early morning starts are productive. Take your pick, rolling baby tarpon or tailing permit and bonefish. By mid day the water temperatures are nearing 90 degrees, which makes it tougher to find bonefish or permit in shallow water. Baby tarpon thrive in the warmer temperatures and are eager to eat a well placed surface fly or plug.
3. Very, very few boats on the flats.. Might see one or two other skiffs all day... some days none..
4. Fall is "Off Season" No snow birds, very few tourists, vacationing families from the main land are back to school, etc.. Most destination anglers are hunting, elk, birds, etc.. The road, resteraunts and bars are quiet.. The fishing and the weather continue to be HOT... Most places are offering discounts on lodging too..
5. This is the time of year I get to fish too!! Got to fish with my buddy Capt. Bo Sellers yesterday... Found a bunch of bonefish and some tarpon too.. It was a blast!!
Target Species:
tarpon permit bonefish
