Orlando fishing guides have survived! So hurricane Irma has come and gone and left us with some fantastic fishing. Like most hurricanes When approaching the barometric pressure drops extremely low, once the hurricane passes through in the barometric pressure begins to rise the fishing truly turns on. When this happens Bait fish become active and most Predators will start to feed. Along with the barometric pressure change you have an increase in freshwater discharge from the backcountry creeks and canals along with runoff from the roads and lands surrounding the Refuge. This new amount of freshwater turn species like snook and tarpon into ferocious predators. The reason why is because as the waters rise their hideouts along the tree lines become increasingly more hidden and as the bait tried to seek refuge and find a place to hide from the birds they end up on the dinner plate. Redfish also benefit from this time as well. They will start targeting on mullet and pinfish right after a hurricane and feed ferociously. So needless to say these past two weeks have been absolutely Stellar when it comes to fishing. I find it ironic that when a hurricane passes through people get fearful of going back out on the water and or wanting to hire a fishing guide for fishing trip but the truth is it’s the absolute best time to go and if you’re on the fence and trying to make up your mind trust me when I tell you the fishing is great and it’s time to go!
