Fishing on Florida’s Nature Coast is alive and well. Last Thursday all the planets aligned. The tide, time, temperature and weather conditions were all perfect for an offshore trip. I and two of my fishing partners, Doug and Pat, struck out about 8 a.m. from the Yankeetown Public Ramp. We […]

The Largemouth bite on the Ocklawaha River has slowed a bit over the past few weeks. Although we’re still catching plenty of keeper-sized Bass, fish over 6 pounds have been few and far between. Expect the numbers to improve over the next week or so as the full moon approaches […]

The Largemouth bite on the Ocklawaha River continues to be exceptional. Early morning seems to be the best time, although we’ve caught them in the late afternoon as well. Expect the bite to improve over the next few weeks, especially around the new and full moon phases. Wild shiners, either […]

Fishing in the Gulf of Mexico is alive and well. Our recent warm spell has the Speckled Trout and Redfish moving from the skinny water (creeks and guts) out onto the shallow flats. Depending on the weather, this may or may not be a temporary situation. January and February is your […]

The Largemouth Bass bite on the Ocklawaha River has continued to improve over the last couple of weeks. Good numbers of keeper fish have been caught both in the early morning and late afternoon hours. Wild shiners fished in and around the heavy cover are your best bet for that […]

Despite the majority of Bass on the Ocklawaha River being on the bed, we are still getting good numbers of quality fish on most every trip. Recent cold fronts have triggered the Largemouths to feed, and I expect this trend to improve as our most recent spawn nears it’s end […]
