Last report I mentioned catching short Cobia, no keeper size. Well I have included a picture of a 36″ beast that took a half hour to tire down enough on Trout tackle to get close enough to the boat to gaff. We broke off one bigger an hour earlier. They […]

In spite of some late cool weather we are in full spring swing. Speckled Trout fishing has been consistently the best ever. Right now we are catching Trout on the deep flats, jigging and shallow flats jigging or corking with cut pinfish. And some big fish, getting our over 20″ […]

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 trout are in thick and the best reports are south of snake key in the finger channels in 5 to 10 ft of water. Drifting and using a Cajun thunder popping cork and about 4 ft of leader line, #3 to #5 hook and baited with live shrimp, small […]

Hey Steinhatchee & OutdoorUpdate.com fans, we are still enjoying a shallow bite for Speckled Trout, mostly on cutbait. Persistant use of light weight jigheads like the Saltwater Asssassin 1/16 oz with a 5 inch pink or Electric Chicken Assassin tail will work. If you like casting plugs you have to […]

The last few weeks have been fantastic on the flats off Dixie and Taylor counties. Limits of Speckled Trout and Redfish are common, and considering the Red limit doubling to two fish per person with a boat max of eight fish, I have wondered if I would need a bigger […]
