“Once in a Lifetime” Central Florida, Oklawaha & Silver River Fishing Report Recently I had the opportunity to “legally” fish the Silver River. Yes I said Silver River! Since I moved to the Ocala area in 1983, I dreamed of fishing these pristine waters, but always assumed it would remain just that, a dream.. A big part of my business has been running tours there, but only tours.

Steinhatchee, Florida Fishing Report From Steinhatchee Florida Fishing Guide Captain Steve What a week. It’s been very cold and windy. Water temps down in the 50’s have made the Steinhatchee River the warmest place they can find. The Trout have stacked up there.

The economy and the new regs are beating the guides down. Don and other guides have told me that you […]

Northeast Florida, Ocklawaha Fishing Report ” A Family Tradition” Spent another Christmas Day fishing. Boy, the sacrifices we must make…Actually years ago I decided to start a new family tradition and fish on Christmas Day…. It caught on, and I’ve done my best to keep it up over the years. This year, Mr. Snead King , one of our relatives from south Florida, came along to help keep the tradition alive. We fished the Ocklawaha River north of Gores Landing to Turkey Creek and saw only one boat. Guess everyone else must have been busy. Caught a few Bass, and […]
