November Redfish may school along shallow grass, oyster bars, and mangrove shorelines. Look for wakes, tails, and bait pushed against an edge. Lead moving fish with a small crab, shrimp, or baitfish pattern.

Pole shallow flats and mangrove shorelines while watching for wakes, tails, and pushing water.

Gold spoon flies, tan crab or shrimp patterns, and olive-and-white baitfish imitations.

Lead moving fish by 3–5 feet and use short strips with deliberate pauses.

8-weight rod with floating line and a stout 20–25 lb fluorocarbon leader.

Work oyster points, grass edges, potholes, and mangrove shorelines with live shrimp or finger mullet, weedless paddletails, and gold spoons.

Cast ahead of moving schools or work likely ambush points during the upper half of the tide.

Weedless paddletails, gold spoons, scented shrimp, and live finger mullet.

Use a steady retrieve around active schools and a slower hopping retrieve through potholes.

7-foot medium-heavy rod with 15–20 lb braid and a 25–30 lb fluorocarbon leader.

As water cools, look for Snook around mangrove points, creek mouths, passes, and dock-shadow lines. Fish close to cover and let the current carry the fly naturally.

Target current seams, outside bends, mangrove points, and the down-current side of structure.

White or olive baitfish flies, Deceivers, DT Minnows, and small mullet imitations.

Cast tight to structure and retrieve with quick, irregular strips followed by a short pause.

8- or 9-weight rod with floating or clear sink-tip line and a 30–40 lb bite tippet.

Target points, passes, docks, and mangrove shorelines with live pilchards, finger mullet, paddletails, or suspending jerkbaits.

Work the strongest current early, then move toward shaded shorelines and deeper cuts as the sun rises.

White paddletails, suspending jerkbaits, flair hawk jigs, and topwater plugs during warm, calm mornings.

Use an energetic surface retrieve early, then slow down around deeper structure later in the morning.

3000- to 4000-series reel with 15–20 lb braid and a 30–40 lb fluorocarbon leader.

Cooling water can make Seatrout a dependable target across grass flats, sandy potholes, and deeper edges. Search for bait over clean bottom and keep the fly moving just above the grass.

Drift the deeper grass and cast around potholes, sandy edges, and changes in bottom.

White-and-chartreuse Clousers, shrimp patterns, and small baitfish imitations.

Use a steady strip with short pauses, keeping the fly above the grass.

7- or 8-weight rod with floating line and a 20–25 lb fluorocarbon leader.

Drift grass flats and potholes with soft-plastic shrimp, paddletails, or live shrimp under a popping cork.

Cover likely feeding water methodically, then slow down when you find a concentration of fish.

Soft-plastic shrimp, white or natural paddletails, and live shrimp under a cork.

Work the lure with a steady retrieve or small hops, adjusting depth to stay above the grass.

7-foot medium or medium-light rod with 10–15 lb braid and a 20–25 lb fluorocarbon leader.
