Cedar Key Offshore Fishing Report
The best bet for offshore fishing is Sheep Head, they are on fire. Head out to the reefs and concrete piles, using light tackle, 1 or 2/0 sharp hooks with shrimp, fiddler crabs or oysters. They are ranging from 12 to 20 inch. Also the Sea Bass are “thick as thieves” and of course the ole faithful grunts.
April 1st is not far away and we”ll be after red grouper again but until then come on down and get the sheep’s before they move off.
Till next time, tight lines and safe boating

Cedar Key Inshore Fishing Report
For results, fish around the southeast side of Senodie Key and around Grassy Key in 3 to 5 ft of water and many other grassy flats in same depth, the Speckled Trout are on fire. Using Cajun Thunder floats, 3ft of leader, 1/4 oz jig heads and shrimp.
Redfish are biting good as well, look for moving water near oyster bars and grassy bars, using the same as for trout or the finger mullet are working great also. Any of your favorite soft plastics or gulp work as well too.
We have had a couple of reports of Spanish Mackerel, a good sign, seems as though we may be a month ahead of schedule, due to our mild winter. So, come on down, get em while their hot

Cedar Key Offshore Report
Well, with the gag grouper season closing this week, the thousands of big gags out there will be safe for another year.
Saturday, November 12th, was a rough trip, cold, windy and 3-6 foot seas, the bite was slow but there were good red grouper & gag grouper in 45 to 60 feet. We were/are even catching keeper red grouper in 30 feet of water this year. Large sea bass are in 25 to 30 feet as also and they make great table fare.
Sunday, November 13th, we had beautiful weather and the fish were on fire, we released plenty of keeper sized gags and plenty just short. We did best in 55 feet of water.
Remember, you’re now allowed four red grouper, even though gag grouper fishing will be closed. The Amberjacks have moved back in, go to structure or wrecks, use live bait or jigs and have all the fun you can stand.
Till next time, tight lines and safe boating

Plenty of Redfish and Trout to be Caught
From the Suwannee to Waccasassa and all around the oyster bars, corrigan’s reef, dead mans channel, gomez and in the back creek mouths, there are plenty of redfish to be caught, the trout are also there, still around the grass flats and hard bottom areas.
There also have been good numbers of sheephead caught around the docks, as the temperature gets cooler, they will move in strong. so come on down to Cedar Key & the Big Bend, the fish are biting.
