Happy Halloween from Aquatic Escapes. Some things on Tampa Bay bite best after dark: snook, redfish and sharks all feed once the sun goes down. Real shark, real teeth.

Would you fish at night, or is that a hard no?

Happy Halloween from Aquatic Escapes. Tampa Bay's scariest smiles: a sheepshead with a mouth full of teeth that look a little too human, a Spanish mackerel that never stops grinning, and a shark that needs no introduction. Yes, those teeth are real.

Swipe through and tell me which one you would kiss.

Sheepshead and mackerel are biting right now, and they fight a lot better than they smile. AquaticEscapesFL.com, or call or text 656.242.7172.

Fun times with this crew on Friday as they boozed their way through downtown Tampa, hopped over to the island for a swim, and stayed out on the water to watch the sunset. Girls trip done right.

The net comes out before anything else happens.

I throw for fresh greenbacks at first light, because that is exactly what the fish in Tampa Bay are already eating. Live shrimp, pinfish and cut bait cover the rest.

Live bait or artificials, what do you throw?

November is the last month of snook season on Tampa Bay. Our inshore fishing charters have through November 30 before the season closes for the winter, and speckled trout turn on as the water cools, so the bite does not slow down when the calendar does.

Recipe Wednesday: Redfish on the Half Shell

Redfish twice this month, because this is how most Tampa Bay captains cook it at home.

You need: Redfish fillets with the skin and the scales left on. Melted butter, minced garlic, Old Bay or your favorite seafood seasoning, lemon slices.

How: Do not scale the fish. Brush the meat side with garlic butter and season it. Set the fillets scales down on a medium hot grill, close the lid and leave them alone for 10 to 15 minutes until the meat flakes. Never flip. The scales turn into the plate: slide a spatula between the skin and the meat and it lifts right off. Lemon over the top.

(Plate photo: an AI illustration of the cooked fish, not this exact recipe. The catch photo is real.)

Keep only what FWC rules allow. The Fish Rules app has the current size and bag limits.

Want to catch your own? Book at AquaticEscapesFL.com or call or text 656.242.7172.

Three hours, the sun going down, and downtown Tampa lighting up behind the boat.

No rods unless you want them. Bring your own food and drinks, cans only.

Who would you take on a sunset cruise?
