  • Kingfish increasing; redfish still biting

    Well hey folks, I hope everybody had a great Easter weekend. I actually stayed off the water for family time and because it blew its tail off. It was nice cool weather, to say the least.
    We have this dark mixture of water blending into our area. To the best of my knowledge, its some river run-off. And a lot of help from lots of northwest winds. It doesn’t seem to be affecting our fishing any, just makes the water not as pretty.

  • The fishin’ was there if you braved the conditions

    Hey everyone, hope everybody enjoyed the weekend. It was beautiful for everything except fishin’.
    If flying a kite was the plan last weekend, then you probly flew it till it fell apart.
    Most charter captains canceled their trips Saturday, but no, not us. We said anyone can catch fish when it’s pretty and perfect. So we headed inside the backcountry to stay clear of the kite flying weather.

  • Four license-free fishing days begin April 7

    Grab your fishing rods and tackle box. It’s almost time – April 7 – to take advantage of the first of four license-free fishing days scheduled for this summer in Florida, according to Gov. Rick Scott.
    The days are perfect chances for parents, who don’t yet have a license, to take youth fishing, or for avid anglers to introduce a friend to the recreational pursuit without having to purchase a license.

  • Things are hopping in Cedar Key - and the fishing ain’t bad, either

    Hello again everybody, hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. Our lil’ town was pretty busy during the day with lots of folks out wandering, fishing, sightseeing and gift shopping.
    We also had some debating/politicking going on. All in all, it was great to see the town full. I don’t think the evenings were as awesome with lots of rain Saturday night, mainly.

  • Springtime brings freshwater fishing, boat access

    March is prime freshwater fishing season for many species of fish, because bass and bream are getting geared up to hit the shallows. During spring, sunfish such as bass and bluegill move close to shore to find suitable spawning habitat. Shallow areas (ideally 2 to 6 feet deep) with sandy or firm soils and nearby vegetation tend to attract sunfish. Often the same areas are used year after year, because sunfish do best when they construct beds in sheltered areas without too much current and away from prevailing winds (often coves or the north shores of lakes).
