Fishing Report May 16, 2018
Fishing has been great! I love this time of year! The water temperature is perfect. Not to hot, not to cold. Everything seems to be biting right now, in
one day (up in Hudson waters) we landed 8 Cobia in 3 hours. We also caught King Fish and Mackerel. We were in 12 feet of water. That same day we
brought in 6 Reds and 3 Snooks along the Mangrove line. Then we decided to move
from Hudson and head south towards Tarpon.
We were in 10 feet of water and trolled with a plug, hooked onto 3 nice
size Gag Grouper. They are out of season
right now. We ended up on a nice grass
flat in about 4 feet of water, just outside a channel, with some rocks and
decided to fish for some seatrout. Threw
out some greenbacks and within a few minutes landed 4. One was over 23 inches! My point is, it doesn’t matter whether you
fish shallow or fish deep, the fish are here, and they are hungry. You will not miss out. Bait of choice this week is live Greenbacks,
2nd is Shrimp and 3rd is Squid. The squid is for the Cobia. We had a few around the boat and they would
not eat, so we decided to try something we normally would not use and sure
enough, they wanted the squid. On a side
note, I want everyone to know about a new site coming soon www.fishingfloridaflats.com. Some of the
best charter Captains around have decided to work together and share their
knowledge by posting some information on this site for people to learn what is
happening on the water. www.fishingfloridaflats.com will
also offer fishing charters, scalloping and nature tours serving Hernando,
Pasco & Pinellas counties. You will
be able to book a trip with the Captain of your choice. I will keep you informed on the grand opening
with the main location in Hudson. Stay safe!
Will talk to you next week.
