Steinhatchee activities dominated by scallop trips

Scallops Dominate

pepperfish_key_galmour_shotOur activities continue to be dominated by scallop trips. Which is a good thing.

We are thankful for such a wonderful resource to enjoy and share!

But, for me,  nothing can substitute the pull of a upper slot size Red, or the violent head shake of a 22″ Trout in 18″s of water. So I go. Flats fishing in warm water is challenging. The rewards for determination will come one out of 3 days. I like to say “you won’t know if you don’t go”.

So fish early, safe light is between 6:30 & 7, and scallop when the temp gets up.

God Bless and Good Fishing

Scalloping Good As Ever

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

pepperfish_key_galmour_shot

 Scalloping continues to be as good as ever. In spite of the regular rains, which we are thankful for, the flats have stayed clear.

 

Trout fishing has been good one out of three mornings shallow. Deeper flats, 6-10ft, trout have been more dependable on days the wind lays.

 

When the tide is right, morning Reds will cooperate.

 

 

Thanks for checking in with us. God Bless and Good Fishing

More Weather Challenges

Monday, June 8th, 2009

More Weather Challenges.

pepperfish_key_galmour_shotTrout and Reds are in another transition. You may remember a few months ago when I talked about the water temp changes and the challenges it presented in locating fish.

Well as the flats warm more Trout have moved to deeper flats. We have gone back to slow jigging the deep grass. If you fish it to  fast, you’ll catch nothing but ladies and blues.

Reds seem to be more scattered now, which is normal this time of year. They will be caught in the same places, just not the same numbers.

We’re all anticipating scallop season. It looks good.

I don’t have to tell you we are still dealing with weather, almost daily.

God Bless and Good Luck

The Last Two Weeks Have Been A Blast

Monday, May 11th, 2009

Steinhatchee Fishing Reports from
Steinhatchee Fishing Guide Captain Steve Kroll

pepperfish_key_galmour_shotHey, Big Bend Flats Fisherman, The last two weeks have been a blast.

Big Trout and Big Reds! Over 20 inch Trout limits have been common with 3 in the last 2 weeks over 25 inches long. On the boga scale, one of those went over 6 lbs.

My parties and I have caught these fish on Saltwater Assassin 5″ shads on 1/16 oz SWA jigheads, also cutbait, mainly pinfish, locally known as shiner tails.

Redfish are still bunched up and easily missed, and somedays have been finicky to bite. But oversize reds have been common on the flats.

Do your best to keep the fight short, snap a couple photos and get them back into the water, hold by the tail until the fish swims out of your hand.

Top all that off with Cobia on the flats, Spanish Macks, big Bluefish and Jack Crevalle, You are sure to get your string pulled.
Come see us in Steinhatchee and Enjoy God’s creation and his Good fishing
God Bless, Good Luck and Good Fishing
Captain STEVE

Watching the sky dump buckets

A Steinhatchee, Florida Fishing Report from
Steinhatchee, Florida Fishing Guide Captain Steve Kroll

pepperfish_key_galmour_shotWatching the sky dump buckets
March Started Good, April is going to be great!

I haven’t sent a report in a while. It’s not because I didn’t have  one, just the opposite.

I’m stuck in the house today watching the sky dump buckets. Thankful for it though, we’ve been dry.

 It has been a great March. Business and fishing have been good. You’ll remember the last few reports, I mentioned cool and unstable water temps.

Quality Trout and Reds are on the flats and biting, which indicates a more stable temp. Mackerel have showed. April is going to be great!

Come see us in Steinhatchee.
God Bless, Good Luck and Good Fishing
Captain STEVE
