In the fall, the mullet run gets into full swing as these fish move down the United States’ eastern coastline and into Florida. The bigger fish will follow these mullet along the beaches as well as into the inlet and back into the rivers. When the mullet show up, you can experience some of the best fishing of the year. From early to mid fall, you will see lots of migratory fish and resident fish gorging themselves on all of the bait that moves into the area. As the water temperatures continue to drop later in the fall, you will find a lot less migratory fish, so if you are coming here later in the fall, the main species of inshore fish will be redfish, sea trout, flounder and sheepshead. Fishing near the St. Augustine Inlet is very popular in the fall since huge numbers of fish will move in and out of this area through that inlet.
