In the spring, the fishing can be really good in the Tallahassee area.  Freshwater, anglers can catch big bass in the shallows as they spawn in March and April.  Anglers also do well with bream and crappie in the spring months.  Saltwater anglers experience really good fishing and as the weather warms into the month of May, you will start seeing some migratory fish species moving into the area as well.


Fishing Tallahassee, FL in the Summer


Month Avg. Air Temps °F (Hi/Lo)
June 92° / 70°
July 93° / 72°
August 92° / 72°

In the summer, it can get hot here, but there is still some very good fishing opportunities.  The saltwater fishing is fairly consistent through the summer months.  There are many more fish in the area due to fish migrating through.  The middle of the day can be tough to fish and there is a lot of rain during the summer months, but anglers usually report good success in the mornings and evenings, especially if there is an ideal tidal change occurring during low light conditions.


Fishing Tallahassee, FL in the Fall


Month Avg. Air Temps °F (Hi/Lo)
September 89° / 69°
October 82° / 57°
November 73° / 48°

In the fall, fishing is really good in the surrounding freshwater lakes for largemouth bass, bream and crappie.  The saltwater fishing is going strong through the fall months as fish will be migrating back through the area as they head down the coastline to warmer winter temperatures.


Fishing Tallahassee, FL in the Winter


Month Avg. Air Temps °F (Hi/Lo)
December 66° / 42°
January 64° / 39°
February 68° / 42°

In the winter, fishing can still be really good during the warm fronts.  There are a lot of harsh cold fronts that will push through this area during the winter and that usually shuts down the bass fishing and slows the saltwater bite as well.  During the winter months, anglers target the resident fish as most of the migratory species will be long gone as they are now enjoying warmer weather down south.
