Inshore Fishing in Autumn

Autumn is one of my favourite seasons. The worst of the summer heat has gone, along with most of the insect pests. The leaves of deciduous trees are colouring and starting to fall, and it is harvest time for all sorts of delicious fruits and vegetables.

Traditionally, autumn can provide some of the best inshore fishing of the year for many popular species. Kingfish have returned to their traditional home grounds after heading offshore to breed around mid-December. They are hungry and feed hard to regain the condition lost by spawning. By autumn these fish are normally in good shape again.
