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.
