Steinhatchee Fishing Reports from
Steinhatchee Fishing Guide Captain Steve Kroll
Hey, Big Bend Flats Fisherman, The last two weeks have been a blast.
Big Trout and Big Reds! Over 20 inch Trout limits have been common with 3 in the last 2 weeks over 25 inches long. On the boga scale, one of those went over 6 lbs.
My parties and I have caught these fish on Saltwater Assassin 5″ shads on 1/16 oz SWA jigheads, also cutbait, mainly pinfish, locally known as shiner tails.
Redfish are still bunched up and easily missed, and somedays have been finicky to bite. But oversize reds have been common on the flats.
Do your best to keep the fight short, snap a couple photos and get them back into the water, hold by the tail until the fish swims out of your hand.
Top all that off with Cobia on the flats, Spanish Macks, big Bluefish and Jack Crevalle, You are sure to get your string pulled.
Come see us in Steinhatchee and Enjoy God’s creation and his?Good fishing
God Bless, Good Luck and Good Fishing
