Bass fishing on the middle Ocklawaha River has been very slow over the past several weeks due mostly to the spawn. Also, we’ve had record amounts of rainfall over the past two months, which has had the River flowing out of her banks for some time now. So much for […]

The water temp was 63 degrees at the ramp, dropped to 62 degrees out in 45-58 ft of water but it warmed up to 63 degrees in afternoon. The gag grouper, sea bass and Florida snapper (grunts) are biting good in 50 to 60 ft of water. It’s been hard […]

My Saturday March 20th charter left the Cedar Kay Boat ramp and went to catch some bait before we went farther out to fish. Searching for new grouper spots we started in 45 ft of water. With nobody home, went to 50–60 ft, and there they were, they were hungry […]

On Thursday, Feb. 11, Mr. Lucas “Luke” Kemnitz (12), put on a fishing clinic for his father (Chad) and his grandfather (Terry). […]

The stars all lined up last Thursday, 1/28, and we finally got the opportunity to get over to the Progress Energy Hot Water Discharge Canal at Crystal River. Friday the 29th was the full moon, so we had the advantage of an extreme high tide around 1 p.m., along with […]

Every so often we have what I refer to as “one of those years”. So far it looks like 2010 is gonna be a doozy!! It all started with new fishing restrictions for bottom or reef fishing from the North Carolina Coast to Key West. Fortunately this didn’t affect our business, […]

The Largemouth bite that is. So far we’ve had a great pre-spawn Bass bite on the Ocklawaha River. Over the past several weeks, I’ve concentrated on the area between the confluence, near Ocala, where the Silver River flows into the Ocklawaha, and Gores Landing just south of Ft.
