 | Hernando Beach
08/26/10 12:26 AM Captain Keith Tomlinson | The weather made it tough to get on the water earlier in the week, but it did cool the gulf waters down a bit.
The back country fishing was a little slow last week, but we were able to boat some nice Reds with a little patience and persistence. The run off from the recent rain fall made the Nature Coast waters "murky". We had to fish slow and cover ground to locate fish. Cut Mullet or cut Pinfish under a cork are great baits. Any artificial that will make noise and imitate a small Mullet is a great option, and if that wont work then use old faith full - a gold spoon.
The Trout bite is still the hot bite out of Hernando Beach. This is the best season for Trout that I've seen in over 5 years. Target 8 - 12 ft of water and work areas that have nice grass and frequent pockets of sand. A red 1/4 ounce jig head by Strike King combined with a white 3" GULP is my go to Trout catcher.
TIP: If you match your tackle to the fish it can make for a better fishing experience. I say the lighter the better. After all, the fun is not always about putting the fish in the cooler. The true enjoyment comes from the drag pulling fight between you and the fish.
Good luck out there and tight lines!
