Steinhatchee Fishing Is Very Interesting

Steinhatchee Fishing Reports from
Steinhatchee Fishing Guide Captain Steve Kroll

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
Captain STEVE

Almost To Big, But they are keepers!

Nice Steinhatchee Trout, Looks like something else wanted a bite too.

Now thats a Red Fish

Scallops & early morning trips for Speckled Trout & Redfish continue to be very productive

Scallops continue to be the most dependable resource this summer.
Water clarity will become a factor, post rainy days and T.S. Fay.

Early morning trips for Speckled Trout and Redfish continue to be very productive using Saltwater Assassin jigs 5″ pink and electric chicken colors. Topwater baits such as mirrorlure top dog or zara spook work well, for those of you who enjoy the strike as much as the pull.
These oppurtunities seem to be most productive when you have high tide in the AM.
If lucky you’ll be in right place at the right time to enjoy Trout and Reds in the same neighborhood at the same time.
I have seen this happen only a few times. It was early morning, high water at 9am, warm weather, July and large Trout and Reds were aggresively hitting topwater. It would be moments before you knew whether it was a big Speck or a Red. I wish I had camcorder! By 10 am this bite will be over.
Head out to the 8 and 10 foot flats for some deep jigging. Tie on an 1/8 or 1/4 oz assassin jig head, assassin limetruce in 4″ or 5″ tail or a gulp. Work it slow on the bottom concentrating on the darkest areas. This will be grass and where the trout will be. If you are only catching ladyfish and bluefish, slow down. When the sun is high, the breeze lays and the sweat soaks your shirt, go get wet and
pick up some scallops.
