Keep Your Eye On The Ball
We fished the Spoil Islands off the Levy County Coast Monday, June 1, just north of the Withalacoochee River.
Found plenty of Spotted Sea Trout, although most of them were less than 15 inches in length, the legal limit.
Moved offshore a bit and found a small piece of structure that ,according to my “crystal ball ” ,( fish finder) ,was holding fish.
Anchored up and right off start catching 18 to 24 inch Trout, several nice size Pink Mouth Grunts, and Gag Grouper just shy of the 22 inch minimum.
Even had a couple of Cobia come up to the boat, but couldn’t convince them to bite a shrimp.
Needless to say, I added another waypoint on the GPS and will be returning to it soon.

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.
