 | South Indian River Fishing Report 9/3
09/03/10 9:17 AM fishtales | Inshore Fishing: September arrived with the usual active hurricane systems out in the ocean. Sitting here being thankful that none seems to be heading this direction and hoping that the rest of the eastern coast remains safe this season. The winds have been blowing most of the week and offshore swells have kept anglers at bay as well. I did manage a trip this week that ended up with several good rain soaking hours out on the river. We had fun in spite of getting wet.
Pat and Dalton Wells came down from Cocoa Beach for what ended up being a good day full of rain clouds all over the Fort Pierce area. Seemed like everywhere we ventured, the clouds kept pace with us until we finally got good and wet. The bite was good with Trout, Jacks, Mackerel and Blue Runners keeping us busy when we ...full report |

 | Butler Chain Bass Fishing
09/03/10 9:03 AM Florida Bassin | Bass fishing has been doing very good the past 2 weeks near Orlando. Most of my Bass fishing trips have been done on Butler Chain of Lakes. This chain typically does pretty well in the Florida heat simply because of the deeper waters it has. Every one of the 12 lakes out here will have at least one drop off going to at least 20 feet deep, which is a very good area for Bass to stack up at times as the water heats up.
Our main targets on this chain as of late have been areas on Lake Down and the main lake, Lake Butler itself. Both of these lakes seem to have the cleanest water on the chain, and both have been seeing some very good schooling activity as of late. Live wild Shiners have done good out here, but the heavy hitter has been the artificial baits. Flukes and senko type baits have been ...full report |

 | Hernando Beach
09/03/10 8:57 AM Captain Keith Tomlinson | The recent rains cooled things down, but the Gulf waters were stirred up a bit. Once they waters cleared up, it was business as usual and fishing was good.
The Redfish bite has been good throughout the entire region. The fish are there, but we are only seeing 1 - 2 fish at a time. Target the typical locations with a combination of mangroves, oyster bars, and Mullet. I like cut Mullet, but a Pinfish under a cork is a great option. I have seen a lot of juvenile Pinfish in the water lately from a recent hatch which means the Reds will have these guys at the top of there menu. I prefer to cut the tail just enough to make the bait swim funny so he draws the attention of a passing Red.
The deeper flats are still producing nice numbers of fish since the waters have cleared up. Trout fishing ...full report |

 | Islamorada Fishing Report
07/20/10 8:57 AM Sea Horse | Mahi/Dolphin are in the Islamorada area. We are catching Mahi like crazy. Close to the reef in 300 feet we are killing them now. The 20 knot east wind has pushed the gulf stream and the Dolphin in close. There are also plenty of Blackfin on the hump.

 | Tunas And Bigger Mahi
08/31/10 10:43 AM Sea Horse | Mahi, Tuna, Amberjack and yellow tail is what is being caught in the Islamorada area. Smaller schools of larger Mahi are in the area moving into the current. These fish are mostly found by noticing the birds flying over the school. The Frigate birds have been a big help lately when trying to find bigger fish in the twenty pound plus range. Most of these larger Mahi have been on the edge of the color change where the Gulf Stream and the green water meet. The mixing of these two currents accumulates debris often attracting Baitfish that larger predators love to eat. Trolling along these areas is often productive for Mahi, Tuna, and Wahoo.
Blackfin Tuna are moving through this are in large schools and moving south against the Gulf Stream current. All of the off shore humps are loaded ...full report |

 | Crystal River
12/08/09 12:02 PM capt bear | Well those of you that live in our great state FLORIDA know that the weather has not been very Florida like for the past few days. Iām afraid that old man winter has started his stay. With the mornings being cold and not really warming up until later in the day its made that early morning bite hard to come by. The wind has changed from a warm tropical breeze from the south to a not so warm constant 10 to 15 from the north east. This type of wind will keep our tides lower than normal and some times make it so that there is no returning water at all.
What I like to do on days like this. Is find area where we can put the boat in a small cove where the wind is blocked by the mangroves or a bend in a creek where the bottom is cover with rocks or kelp stalks. These two things are some of the ...full report |

 | North Florida Tailing Redfish Forecast
08/28/10 10:57 PM CaptRonSchurr | The month of September is the start of everything that is good here in North Florida. The dog days of summer are almost over, a welcome relief from an extremely hot and humid summer we experienced this past season. Anglers on the First Coast will be greeted with somewhat cooler and breezy conditions while on the water.
September also marks the beginning of highly anticipated events such as the kick off of both college and pro football. North Florida has a huge football fan base, supporting the Jacksonville Jaguars, Florida Gators and Florida State Seminoles respectively.
But in an angler's calendar, September means only one thing: Tailing Redfish in the flooded marsh grass.
For those "in the know", the words "Tailing Redfish in the grass" is almost a revered term, ...full report |
