Fishing in Yankeetown

Northwest Florida boasts incredible fishing that every angler should experience at least once in their lifetime. Both freshwater and saltwater aficionados love coming here, and if you’re wondering why that’s the case, all you need to do is go fishing in Yankeetown, Florida. With the Withlacoochee River on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other, the fishing possibilities are endless.

Yankeetown has a lot to offer to anglers looking to avoid competing for the attention of the trophy fish on the crowded waters. River and lake fishing are very popular and productive, and you can hook anything from Crappie and Sunfish to Bass and Catfish. If you prefer saltwater fishing, right on the Gulf’s doorstep, you can add Snook, Redfish, and Speckled Trout to your to-catch list.

Even though a lot of charters are focused on freshwater fishing, there are some that will take you out into the prolific Gulf of Mexico. There, you can hit the reefs and spend a day bottom fishing for Grouper, Snapper, Amberjack, and Hogfish. You might even find some Sharks out there.

The majority of professional fishing guides in Yankeetown specialize in freshwater fishing, so you’ll easily find an experienced captain to take you out. Trips can last four, six, or eight hours, so you should take your pick depending on how much time you’ve got. You can also book a scalloping excursion, which is always a lot of fun for the whole family.

Rules & Regulations

Freshwater anglers over the age of 16 need to buy a valid fishing license, whether they’re fishing solo or with a guide. If you’re going out into the Gulf with a charter, your license is included in the trip, so you don’t have to worry about getting one.

Yankeetown Fishing Seasons

January

There’s a lot to do on the water in January. Mild temperatures allow for good fishing conditions, and you can hook Crappie and Bass on the Withlacoochee River, as well as good-sized Red Grouper in the Gulf.

February

There’s no low fishing season in Florida, so whenever you go fishing in Yankeetown, Florida, you’ll have a great time. Crappie are loving the colder waters, so they’re very active, as well as Trout, Bass, and plenty of Snook.

March

With spring comes even more fishing opportunities and things will only get better from here. Get your fill of catfishing, enough Sunfish for several dinners, or fight Redfish and Trout in the inshore waters.

April

Bass-fishing lovers will enjoy the abundance of Largemouth and Striped Bass in April. Trout and Redfish are probably the most frequent catches in the inshore realm, and there’s a good amount of hungry Grouper in the Gulf.

May

No matter how much time you spend on the water, it still won’t feel like it’s enough. Fishing is nothing short of superb, and just about anything, from Catfish in the river to Amberjack in the Gulf, is biting.

June

Summer marks the opening of Red Snapper and Gag Grouper season, so you can finally keep a couple of these bottom dwellers and cook the most delicious dinner for your family.

July

There’s so much to do in July, that it’s hard to figure out where to begin! Red Snapper season is in full swing in the Gulf and, for a change of pace, go scalloping with the kids and enjoy some quality bonding.

August

It’s very hot in August, so your best bet is heading out with the first light to get your fill of Trout and Sunfish, or go scalloping for several hours. Anglers who defy the heat can enjoy the top-notch Grouper bite.

September

Both the Withlacoochee River and its surrounding lakes are teeming with a variety of species, so whether you’re after Catfish, Snook, or Trout, you’ll probably find it. If you still haven’t been scalloping, you’ve got time until late September.

October

The mid-fall weather makes for perfect fishing conditions, both for freshwater and saltwater anglers. On the freshwater front, Crappie are out and about again, along with everyone else, and bottom fishing is still strong in the Gulf.

November

If you go reef fishing for a trophy catch, Red Grouper will probably be the star of the show. Closer to land, Snook, Trout, and Crappie are biting, and you’re sure to find some lunkers out there.

December

Anglers from all over the country flock here to relax and enjoy the world-class action. Chase Striped Bass, Crappie, and Catfish on the river one day, then go after Grouper the next for a well-rounded angling adventure!

Rocky Bottom Charters was an amazing charter to use. Captain Justin is an outstanding captain, he had us catching fish right off the bat. He was very knowledgeable and taught us a few tricks and made sure we had a fun trip. We will definitely be using them again for any future family trips and highly recommend them. Thank you Captain Justin and Rocky Bottom Charters!

We had an awesome day on the water! The temp was still cool so it was a little challenging at times. Captain Justin went above and beyond to make sure we were able to catch something for supper. All while making lots of memories with the family.

Took my whole family fishing with Captain Justin a d Rocky Bottom Charters and we had a great time. Captain Justin was great with the kids and helped them with baiting and fishing. He had us catching red drum within 30 minutes of leaving the dock. We had a great time and caught a lot of fish. We definitely recommend him for your charters.

Was a very good trip It was our first time fishing in the Gulf, he showed us the technique and taught us a few tricks, especially when hung up on the bottom. We fished out of the river till the wind picked up then he took into the river to finish u the day. And he gave us a bonus hour on our trip. We had a better than expected trip.
