haven't heard much about fishing Packery since all the red tide, I get to fish there once a year, it is about that time, any reports? Also when do the mullet come in around there and when do they leave? any help would be appreciated

just a tip, when you don't hear any reports from Packery Channel at this time of year, there's a reason for that....

is it because of the red tide, when do you think it will be back to normal, are the mullet there?

There was red tide coming thru there on an outgoing tide on Sunday. Lots of dead menhaden going out into the gulf, and washing up on the beach late afternoon.

Was gigging around packery channel tonight. No sign at all of red tide. Was close to the bridge and only saw one dead mullet. Lots of bait in the water and even a few flounder Very Happy

Have not seen red tide now for almost three weeks. No mullet in surf Monday or Tuesday. Reds were caught today in Packary Channel, so they are headed out !

Best bet is to go find a nice freshwater lake !

There are no fish at the Packery Jetties - ever! There are only Game Wardens, zombies, and Game Warden zombies. Very Happy

there were some more dead fish coming through and ended up in boat hole in the last couple days. There were several patches of red tide out in CC bay yesterday, and quite a few dead sand trout floating around. lots of dead fish slicks out there in the bay also, but I didn't check them out.

I've been out there several times in the last two weeks. Still lots of dead fish near the boat ramp. The water in the channel has been off colored. Haven't seen any mullet. Aerosols are still present although there hasn't been many fresh dead fish washing in.

those fish in boat hole might have come through the bay now that I think about it.

I may postpone my trip till mid Nov. do you think it would be better? also what months do the mullet come in there and how long do they stay, I was there last Oct. they were every where and the fishing was good

We need water temps to drop a bit to really set off the mullet migration. As for postponing your trip.....there's just no way to know how long this stuff will stick around. With the SE winds coming back up I wouldn't be surprised if we get revisited by the red tide.
