A Chilled Steinhatchee, Florida Fishing Report

If you have the luxury of picking the best day to fish, there is a lot of fun to be had.
Last week the seas were flat and we ran out to 25′ of water. We caught a bucket full of big black sea bass. The kind with the knots on their forehead. We caught the bucket full in just a?couple of hours.
This past Tuesday I took a couple guys from South Carolina fishing.
While we looked for redfish, we caught and released 100 trout. We did not find the redfish.
If you decide to catch and release trout, please do it gently. I attempt to remove the jig head with pliers and I try not to touch them at all. I don’t even use a net when I am releasing them.
Stay warm, be careful and God bless.
Captain Steve
Nice, But ya got to put him back! It's a sad day when you catch a hundred trout and have to put them all back.
Crystal River, Florida Yankeetown & Levy County Fishing Report
This Crystal River, Florida & Yankeetown Fishing Report is From Yankeetown Fishing Guide Captain Nick
WHERE,WHEN and HOW
Best bet for February along the Citrus/Levy County coasts is Redfish.
From”Eleven Prong”, just south of the Waccassassa River entrance, to the spoils off of Ozello, reports of Redfish are coming in from everywhere.
That takes care of where. When, just before and after the high or incoming tide seems to work best for me, especially around the new or full moon (most extreme tides).
And finally, how. Although Redfish will bite a large variety of bait, I prefer live or cut stuff, shrimp or mullet.
Note: Snook and Trout season re-opens on March 1st. Whoopee!

A Crystal River, Citrus County, Levy County and?Yankeetown, Florida Fishing Report From Gulf Coast Fishing Guide Captain Nick
GET-UM WHILE YOU CAN
Surface water temp’s off the Citrus/Levy County coasts have been in the lower 50′s this past week, which translates to fish populations going both shallow and deep.
Friday, 1/23, we fished about 18 miles offshore and though there were no Grouper, we did catch several nice Sheephead in the 5-7 lb. range.
Sunday, 1/25, we fished around the Progress Energy Power Plant at Crystal River, and caught 15 Redfish, along with several Jack Crevelles and a small Black Drum.
This time of year it pay’s to fish either very shallow or very deep, depending on what you are targeting.
Speaking of time of year,
don’t forget, Trout season is closed February through March 31st.
Better get them while you can
