Recente Cedar Key Visverslagen

The trout spawn is full swing and they are out here thick. Now is the time to get on the water and enjoy this amazing bite.

I had Monday and Tuesday (4/27 and 4/28) off, so I spent it trying to learn some new redfish water. The wind and waves were prohibitive on Monday, so I explored some secluded water in the heart of the town in from Daughtry Bayou. I found some nice oyster bars at high tide and hooked a couple redfish, which was just fine given the conditions. Tuesday was much less wavy, so I took the Mitzi to a new creek and fished it up as far as I could. The creek itself was okay, as I didn't hook any redfish past the last big oyster bar, but found a hundred-yard stretch that produced several redfish and a nice trout. At high tide and the beginning of the outgoing tide, I transitioned more toward the mouth of the creek and caught two upper-slot redfish on a 1/4oz Little Cleo gold spoon. Overall, the two days produced several nice fish, including two flounder and nine redfish, with several other fish hooked.

This last week we have caught some upper slot and over slot reds, snook, and sea trout. With a handful of flounder and pompano.

4 black drum, lots of trout, and 4 red fish Great pre front bite!!!!!

The spring bite is firing off. Dont miss out on making a memory with your friends and family!!!!!!

The day was supposed to be a redfish scouting trip, but the strong west wind forced me to stay on the leeward side of the islands. I caught a nice slot redfish at low tide to start the day near Atsena Otie Key. After that, I found some shell bars where many groups of large black drum were schooled up in shallow water. I didn't have any bait, so I experimented with different rigging options for a Gulp! shrimp and found a setup that worked. After landing a pair of nice drum, I fished for trout and Spanish mackerel to end the day, putting a stud mackerel in the cooler for dinner. It was a fun day overall, despite the wind, with four of the major inshore species all caught on artificials: redfish, black drum, Spanish mackerel, and speckled trout!
