Clearwater Fishing Reports

If it is hot then get out of the intercontinental area and go out about 2- 3 miles

Utilize the o Local guides. You will gain a considerable amount of knowledge.

Ask to catch lots of fish, they will put you on a spot to do that, if you ask to catch big fish, they will put you on the spot but if fish do not cooperate well then you won't catch fish. But in the first spot once you start catching fish you never know, you could catch something big .

Make sure your guide is experienced and friendly. He took us out and did everything that we wanted to do. We went fishing, boating, looked for dolphins etc.

Plenty of reef and inshore species to target. Don’t expect a deep water pelagic experience. The shelf here doesn’t get to blue water until many miles offshore.

Highly recommend they go see Greg & Brett. They’ll make their day a true adventure.

We fished at night, and it was a beautiful evening, lots of fun! Didn't have to worry about sunscreen or daytime heat. Thank you for offering the night trip!

While we weren’t fishing for big fish, we were able to catch a bunch of fish to eat.

Plan for a change in the weather, we had a cold front and wind force us to reschedule.

If you want to catch alot of great eating fish this is the trip. If you are in it for the fight of big fish take all day deep water trip

Go fishing with CPT Mike. Very knowledgeable about his job. Easy to talk to. My brother and I had a blast catching a lot of fish in a short amount of time.

Hire a guide who knows the area. Read comments from guests. A guide obviously cannot guarantee catching fish but if he knows the area, he knows where the productive areas are. We knew nothing about Clearwater or fishing in February. Feedback from customers is your best source in choosing a guide.

Book a trip with Coastal Chaos and you’ll have fun. It was very hot and that hampered the bite a bit, but that is nothing anyone can control.

Definitely go with High Tide crew, they will show you everything you need to know as far as where the fish are and what to expect. Very knowledgeable.

If you're going in the warmer days of the year, like late June, book off-shore trips. The in-shore waters are just a bit too warm, and this boats draft isn't suitable for fishing among the mangroves for fish like snook and the like.

Book a half day or full day trip as that will give you more time to fish in the deep water.

Sit back, Enjoy the ride & scenery of the Homosassa River....Once he positions the boat, be ready to have some fun & catch your fish...??

Go outside the Breakwater. But, then I have very, very limited experience to answer this question: just one time out I only know that in 3 hours we got very few bites, and only 1 caught fish.

John was an excellent guide and got us to where the fish were and we had several bites. With the size restrictions on fish we only had a few keepers; then again, that is just part of fishing. If we go to Clearwater area again we will definitely contact John.

We had a great time! Thank you Captain Logan! We caught a variety of fish!
