Heath Stone

Member since October 2016 Crystal River, United States
Background
As a child, Captain Heath Stone spent his time outdoors either fishing or hunting. Fishing became a passion of his and he loves sharing his experiences with others. Capt. Heath specializes in Redfish, Tarpon, Snook, Flounder, and Trout fishing. He also has a "client first" mentality that is much appreciated by his guests and will make you remember your trip with him forever.
Techniques
My preferred style of fishing is with artificial lures. I am an avid tournament angler in which artificial lures are the only bait we are allowed to use. I like the challenge of catching fish on lures.

Charlotte Harbor Fishing Report
Charlotte Harbor Fishing Report
Dec 19, 2018 Crystal River
It has been a roller coaster ride fishing in Charlotte harbor this year. The spring proved to be outstanding and when we moved into summer we had one of the worst red tide we have seen in years. Summer proved difficult to find clean water and keep bait alive but we found ways to get it done. Now we are into fall and the fishing has been pretty good. The water has cleared up and there is plenty of life in it. On my last few trips I have targeted redfish and have had pretty good results and seeing good numbers of redfish. In my scouting I am also pleased in the number of snook I am seeing and the size of snook I am seeing. I am seeing small snook as well as big breeder snook and again seeing good numbers of both. If you are planning on fishing the Charlotte Harbor or Boca Grand area don't hesitate or be reluctant our waters are clear. I hope to see you on the water and until the next report tight lines my friends.

We are catching a variety of fish on our charters (snook,mangrove snapper,jacks and trout) are all typical catches right now. Red tide is still around but the fish are biting around Bull Bay and Turtle Bay with no sign of dead fish. As we move forward through August and into September I am hopeful the water will start to clear up and the bite will get even better. So if you have the desire to fish now is a good time to get out and catch some. Keep in mind Charlotte Harbor was hit hard by red tide I highly encourage catch and release. If you want to book a trip give me a call **hidden content**) Until next time tight lines everyone.

It has been tough dealing with the red tide here in the harbor but still catching a variety of fish. Bait has been the biggest problem. It has been plentiful to get but keeping it alive crossing the harbor can be tough. Besides that the bite has been pretty good. We have been catching snook, trout,mangrove snapper and flounder. Don't let the red tide keep you in call me and catch some fish.

Red tide and Fishing in Boca Grande and
Red tide and Fishing in Boca Grande and
Jul 18, 2018 Crystal River
All the talk in southwest Florida is about the red tide and how it is affecting our sea life. It has done a lot of damage for sure and it is still here in areas around Boca Grande. On the positive side there is still some bait around and fish to catch. I have had to change the way I do things but still catching fish on every trip. On a recent trip I had to bait up twice due to running through an area with red tide and it killed my bait. I did what any other captain would do and picked up my clients and went to catch more bait. Although I don't like to catch bait with clients on board it had to be done. They were very understanding of the situation and very helpful with the process of catching bait. When we finally got to fishing it turned out to be an epic day. We caught a lot of fish and 6 different species including a 35 inch snook. I would say it was a successful day. So if you are wanting to fish the Boca Grande area you can with success. Till next time tight lines my friends.
