FWC issues an executive order that temporarily extends closed fishing seasons for snook statewide until September and establishes temporary statewide closed seasons for bonefish and tarpon until April.
For more info, the FWC News Release
However catch and release is still allowed. For more info
Also some good news I was talking to Don at Cedar Key Marina yesterday and he said the mullet kills weren’t as bad as last year. He said the mullet were in deeper water during the cold temps this year than they were last year.

The Fiddler Crab Festival in Steinahatchee, Florida is one of the Florida Festivals that you can call the funnest.

THE HOT SPOT
If it ever stops blowing, I plan to fish the Progress Energy Hot Water Discharge Canal at Crystal River. We typically spend many days there each year, but this hasn’t been a typical year, or season.
I received a report yesterday that there had been a bad fish kill south of there, the Ozello area, where several hundred dead Snook, as well as Mullett, were spotted.
With the adjacent water temps dropping, the Discharge Canal should be the “Hot Spot”.
I hope to give a real time report soon
Remember God Loves A Fishman
Good Luck

My Apologies to some people that left comments and info about the discharge canal, the auto filter filed your comments with the porn/spam and I accidentally through it away. I didn’t realize it until I clicked delete(there were 180+ porn/spam comments) and saw the legit comments filed with the porn and other spam. Of course by then it was to late.
Again, I Apologize
Steve

I’m sure everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Happy New Year, may God Bless it for you and your family.
Again, I have to have a weather conversation. I sitting in the house watching the wind howl out of the north-stiff. It’s 52 degrees and sunny now. The rain ended this morning about 8. Today is one of those days that I’m glad to be in the house keeping the wood stove stoked. The clothes you would have to wear to be comfortable in todays kind of wind chill make it difficult to fish.
I have been able to go a couple days this week and last. The results were mixed.
I have said it many times about Steinhatchee winter fishing, “it’s going to be real good or real bad”.
The fish are bunched up and success depends on finding them. Three out of four days I found them. Speckled Trout, keeper size, including some big trout we had to release on our way to a limit, is what we were catching one day. The reds we’ve caught have been small. I believe slot size reds move to more inaccessible locales like creek and river holes. We need a few days of warm weather to bring them out and stimulate a bite.
Offshore reports have been good for grouper and snapper when weather permitted.
Thanks for checking in.
GOD Bless and Good Fishing
