Fishing off the Levy/Citrus County coasts has been good over the past few weeks, although most of the fish are on the move as fall begins and water temps drop. Recently the larger ‘Gator Trout” aka big speckled trout have moved from the extremely deep flats to the more shallow and warmer waters.

The Speckled Trout and Redfish are biting good in the back marsh areas.

The sheepshead are biting good around the docks and some oyster bars and within 2 or 3 weeks they should start showing up on the offshore reefs. Till next time, tight lines and safe boating Capt.
