ANTICIPATION

Although the recent winds have all but shut down the saltwater fishing around the Big Bend, we did manage to get out on Friday, 4/17.
 
Yes, it was blustery, but we took the airboat and confined our fishing to the shallow, protected waters around “Eleven Prong”, just south of the Waccassasa Bay Channel entrance.
 
Not much luck with the Redfish, but there was a fair amount of baitfish in the area. 

Hopefully the winds will subside soon, and we’ll be getting back to the Grassflats for some great fishing action. 
 
Time to get those “Cajun Thunders” rigged and ready.

Saltwater/Yankeetown (Nearshore)
“Fish of the Day”
On a recent trip, Rich and Bridgette Whitney, of Tampa, caught a variety of fish while fishing the grass flats and spoil islands off of Yankeetown..Species caught included Trout, Small Grouper, and Redfish, along with the typical by-catch.

Bridgette ended up the trip catching the “fish of the day”.  A 24″ Red caught on a shrimp- tipped Cajun Thunder.

Salt water /Crystal River (Offshore)
How Hot is it?
Only one way to describe the water tempreture in the gulf of Mexico,and that is HOT…D**n HOT.

Most of the Grouper being caught recently have been red in color andquite a way offshore. (30 to 40  miles), A reliable sourse tells me that on a recent charter out of Crystal River, 24 anglers only manage to bring home 6 or 7 keepers!
On the other hand, the nearer wrecks and reefs are still holding plenty of small gag grouper, Spanish Mackerel and the occasional Cobia.
Endeavor to persevere my friends, the “Dog days” of summer will soon be over
