THIS TIME OF YEAR…HOT WATER DISCHARGE CANAL
A Yankee Town, Florida Fishing Report
from Yankeetown Florida Fishing Guide Captain Nick
Sorry its been so long since we’ve posted a the salt water fishing report. Honestly, there’s only been a few days that we could have possibly gotten out due to the weather, and the Largemouths have started their pre spawn feeding frenzy which has kept us very busy.
I have had several reports that the Redfish, Trout, and several other species have moved well inside, especially in the early morning hours. This time of year I would recommend trying the Hot Water Discharge Canal at the Progress Energy Plant near Crystal River.
Also, if you like Grass Flats fishing, try the deepest potholes and ledges you can find. They have been known to produce some of the best catches this time of year.
Like always, for best results, try to plan your trip as near to the new or full moon as possible. The extreme tide days are absolutely the best days to fish. I plan on going over to the Gulf Coast in the very near future for a recon trip, that is as soon as the Largemouth bite slows.
Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday.

A Steinhatchee Fishing Report For & Big Bend Die Hards
This Steinhatchee Fishing Report is from Steinhatchee Fishing Guide Captain Steve Kroll
This report is for die-hards, because that is the only people going or wanting to go fishing.
The weather has been a major factor for the last couple of weeks. We have lost some charter business as a result. However, when I could get out, I was able to find some real nice Trout.
If you follow my reports, you know cold water and low tides mean pothole fishing. Slow fishing jigs, slow sinking plugs, and of course shrimp or cut bait, will catch fish in the holes. Deep spots will keep more stable water temps. If your lucky you’ll find a hole with some Reds in it.
Normally, I don’t find them in the same hole.
The offshore catches have been good when the bigger boats have been able to get out. Check regulations before going offshore. The rules change often.
Thanks for checking in.
GOD Bless and Good Fishing
