Cedar Key Inshore Fishing Report
There are reports of good numbers and good sizes of redfish have being caught. Mostly on the in coming tide around the cuts and passes and up close to the islands using live shrimp and finger mullet.
The trout are still here but can be a little finicky when the water is above 82 degrees and it’s now 85. Be patient and drift different areas, fishing in 6 to 12 ft of water using 1/4 or 3/8 oz jig heads with shrimp, finger mullet or gulp’s. Also try live pin fish on a popping cork with a 5ft leader.
The mackerel are still here and a lot are being caught out off of sea horse reef, trout are there also and blue fish.
Cobia are still out there and if their around you they are hitting anything you put in front of them.
Cedar Key Offshore Fishing Report
The reports of the red tide in the last few weeks have changed in whats happening. Although we don’t have it here, the groupers are biting better in 38 to 48 ft of water.
The Gag Grouper are here but you have to be patient, when they turn on, catch em as fast as you can,because they seem to turn back off quickly. We have been catching some quality size red grouper, some mangroves and have caught some hog fish on shrimp too. The groupers are biting best on mullet, menhaden and live pins, also sardines and thread fins work too.
The Amber Jacks should be thick till they close season again and we look for the kings to move back in in the next month so.
Till next time, tight lines & safe boating
