Plenty of Redfish and Trout to be Caught

Posted on November 14, 2011 by Captain John of Cedar Key Marina II

Cedar Key MarinaFrom 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.

Till next time, tight lines and safe boating

Captain Steve’s Steinhatchee Fishing Report: Spring At It’s Best

Posted on March 21, 2011 by Captain Steve of Pepperfish Key Charters

Steinhatchee Fishing GuideHey OutdoorUpdate.com fans,

Spring 2011 has showed up in a most glorious fashion! The blooming trees and bushes are as beautiful as we’ve seen in years. The fishing has been equally great and lower than usual winds for March has contributed to nice conditions, allowing folks to get to the Steinhatchee reef for great catches of Sheephead.

Those who prefer to pursue Speckled Trout on the flats, have been rewarded with big fish and lots of them.

Redfish have shown themselves also, but are more challenging to get to bite.

With water temps continuing to rise the Red bite will get more aggressive.

The Gulf is warming ahead of schedule this year. We have already caught Spanish Mackerel this Spring.

So get out and enjoy HIS creation we are blessed to live in!

Come see us in Steinhatchee
GOD Bless and Good Fishing,
Captain, STEVE KROLL

SHEEPSHEAD…”GET THEM WHILE THERE HOT”.

Posted on February 10, 2011 by Captain Nick of Slick Charters

One of the best all around fish to catch in the Gulf of Mexico has to be the Sheepshead. Although we typically only see them in the Big Bend Region during the winter months, these pelagics show up every year in big numbers. Not only are they plentiful, they move around in tight schools which make getting your limit a snap, once you’ve found them.

We have several spots we fish for them, but like the Grouper, they prefer hard bottom and structure.

Years ago we would go from channel marker to marker scraping the barnacles to attract them. A sure fire method to find them, as well as keep them on the spot you are fishing. These days we typically run offshore a bit and fish for them on the rocks and wrecks off the Citrus and Levy County Coasts.

With all the fishing restrictions, especially this time of year, the Sheepshead is no doubt your best bet for filling the cooler. They’re great table fare, the bag or catch limit is 15 per angler, they typically run from 5 to 10 lbs. each, and are easy to hook once you’ve mastered the art of jigging.

As I have said before, “The measure of a successful fishing trip is directly proportionate to the weight of the cooler at the days end”.

See?you on the water.
Good Luck
Captain Nick

Its Starting to Get Fun

Posted on April 21, 2010 by Captain Steve of Pepperfish Key Charters

The last couple of weeks have been a lot of fun, as well as challenging. Water temps have moved to the upper 60′s and low 70′s.

Cool nights will slow the morning bites. Compared to recent years, we seem to be several weeks behind on the Spring warm up.

The reports of big Trout are numerous, up to 30 inches, and one above. I have included a photo of my biggest Trout taken this year so far, approx 27″long and 6 3/4 pounds. I did not lay her down to measure her. I was trying to get her back in the water as quickly as possible. I already had 3 Trout in the box over 20″s. My Boga gave me her weight and I have found to be accurate.

Redfish have been less than dependable. I think it’s because they are bunched up and moving around. If you find them you’ll have ball. But because they are moving they can be hard to stay in front of. That will change as water temps stabilize and the fish settle into more dependable patterns.

Offshore fishing has been good as well. Grouper, Seabass, Grunts and Sheephead have been available. Also Kings and Spanish. Offshore Captains continue to catch and release alot of Snapper, which are a no take species until June 1.

Come see us,
God Bless and Good Fishing
