We Fished Last Week And Were Very Successful
Fishing the flats in rough weather is challenging, and only for the most dedicated diehards. High wind and rain makes a good rainsuit a must. As a guide, one has to make the go no-go call with safety in mind.
Last week we had no lightning to deal with, just wind and rain. So we fished last week, and were very successful. At times, we were drifting 1.5 nautical mph. We fished cork rigs almost all week in shallow water, 2-3 ft deep. I would not have bet money on good fishing trips last week. But I had very good fisherman and the Lord decided to bless our efforts.
If you decide to go on one of these tough weather days, keep on eye on the horizon, keep an ear on the radio. Riverhaven Marina will keep us informed about approaching weather. And of course there’s plain old common sense, boat size, your familiarity with the area, your party.
Young kids or Grandma would not enjoy a tough weather day.
Thanks for reading, God Bless and good fishing – be careful.

It’s All Good
A Yankee Town, Florida and Crystal River Florida Fishing Report
From Gulf Coast Fishing Guide Captain Nick
IT’S ALL GOOD
Warmer than usual temperatures for this time of year have the Pelagics, as well as other species, moving in close off the Levy/Citrus County coasts.
Good numbers of Gag Grouper, Cobia, and Spanish Mackerel have recently been taken, as well as Trout and Redfish.
Last week, we limited out on both Gags and Cobia about 18 miles west of Yankeetown/Crystal River. Two of the 6 Cobia caught were over 30 lbs, and the Grouper ranged from 5 to 15 pounds. All were caught on Pinfish.
I haven’t actually fished the Flats recently, but a reliable source tells me that Trout and Mackerel are all over the Grass just north of the Withalacoochee River, aka The Trout Stake Area.
Far as I can tell, It’s all good.

Steinhatchee Fishing Is Very Interesting

Hey Y’all!
These days fishing is very interesting, as well as exciting!
I say that because Trout limits have been difficult and Redfish have been easy. Not usually the case.
My parties and I have had to cull oversize Reds to catch limits of keeper size, and one day this week we had to move out of?a location in order to try to catch keeper size Trout. Not because the fish short-they were BIG!
In Florida, we are allowed to keep one Trout per person over 20″. GET THE PICTURE! It was a BIG WEEK. I like to call this a “luxury problem”. When you add Cobia, Jack Crevalle and Big Bluefish–somebody is going to get their string pulled. Offshore fishing has been good as well.
God Bless, Good Luck and Good Fishing
