Hello Big Bend lovers, Just a quick note to let you know we’re alive and well here in Steinhatchee. The river Trout fishing really hasn’t turned into much this year. The mild weather has allowed the water temps to stay mostly in the 60’s. Oh yeah, there are few folks […]

It has been some very interesting fishing since my last report. My parties and I have found fish in the typical winter, cold water patterns, potholes and ditches, including the Steinhatchee river. But we have also caught fish on the flats. Bright sun and light breeze at the most are […]

We are having the best Trout fishing of the year right now. The water temp is still in the mid to upper 60’s. It’s a treat to be catching fish on the flats in December. It is mainly the afternoon when they bite the best, including Redfish. I know a […]

Yes, there is a pattern, when it’s storming I’m in the office. It has been a couple of weeks since I posted a report. Honestly I really haven’t had much to say. My parties and I have chased clear water as far 18.5 nautical miles from the Steinhatchee River. And I […]

Again this week I have snorkeled instead of cast for seafood. The Scallop has been the target species. I have heard good Trout and Red reports from people I trust. Now when I say good, I mean they went Trout and/or Red fishing and caught keeper size fish. I am […]

It is all about the Scallop right now. My last two inshore fishing trips have been sorry. I started to make something up, but I’m not a very good liar. Besides I’ve been Scalloping mostly. It’s been great, I’ve been nine times this July and we’ve gotten our limit eight […]
