New Port Richey Fishing Charter Report September 2026
September Fishing Report: Cooling Water & Improving Inshore Fishing in New Port Richey, FL
September fishing in New Port Richey, FL, is showing signs of improvement as water temperatures slowly drop from the low 90s into the mid-to-upper 80s. With the cooler water, a few trout are beginning to show back up, giving inshore anglers more opportunities as we move toward fall.
Redfish are still schooling up with the mullet, and cut bait fished on the bottom continues to produce some of the best results. Early mornings have been especially productive, with cooler water and more comfortable conditions before the afternoon heat sets in.
Afternoon rain showers have made fishing a little more challenging, but they’re also helping cool the water and create better conditions for the following morning. Getting out early remains the key to making the most of the current bite.
As we move further into September, New Port Richey fishing should continue to improve. Falling water temperatures will bring more opportunities for redfish, trout, snook, and other inshore species around New Port Richey, Tarpon Springs, and the Anclote area.
For now, September is all about cooling water, schooling redfish, and the first signs of an improving fall bite. If you're planning a New Port Richey fishing charter, this is a great time to get on the water and experience the inshore fishing action in Pasco County. 🎣

NEW REVIEW!
Our first fishing trip with Captain Jason definitely won't be our last! We asked for the charter to focus on helping us catch #Redfish. Capt J knew some great spots to go to, had a simple plan that worked, and gave us exactly what we asked for - with both my son and I each catching our biggest reds ever!
Here's why I 100% recommend JC Fishin Charters:
1. Capt J is friendly and helpful. He openly shared his tips and strategies with us about finding good spots, tackle/gear, casting techniques, etc. That alone was worth the trip.
2. Capt J really listened to what we wanted to accomplish - catch slot reds, he was well prepared to make that goal happen, and he delivered.
3. Capt J's flats boat is killer - it's low and wide with lots of space for multiple people to cast/fish. It's also a smooth ride. And it gets into skinny water - most of the reds we caught were in 8-9 inched of water.
4. After we had so much success with Reds, Capt J gave us other ideas to try new things which was fun.
5. I have fished these waters locally for about 6 years now and I've never had the success with Reds like I had with Capt J.
We're already looking forward to our next trip with JC Fishin Charters. Do yourself a favor and book a trip with Capt J today!
