Freshwater fishing report

We have been catching crappie and large mouth bass on Lake Panasoffkee. We have been using minnows and shiners with some artificial to target these fish they have been around the shorelines and docks even a few around the weed lines in the middle of the lake. When we are using the minnows we are targeting crappie for the most part but we have been getting some nice bass on them to using a slip cork rig so we can change depth fast.

We have been targeting redfish and trout at the creek mouths and inside the creeks our trout has been in the deeper holes and the redfish are mixed in with them to there are a lot of our redfish on the edge of the oyster bars and rocks on the side of the creek banks. We have been sight casting our redfish on the side of the banks using Zman prawn star in the 3.5 inch per rig 3/16oz. The trout has been biting the same bait you do need to let it sink a little more do to it being a little bit lighter then we have been working it slow on the bottom with the cooler air temperature.

Reds are pretty active, a few monsters around. Flounder, sheepshead and some pompano have been the staple for eaters.

Yellow Jack fishing has been very consistent over the past few weeks. Live bait such as pinfish or pilchards has been producing best, but anglers are also catching them on bucktail jigs and topwater lures. These hard-fighting jacks put up a great battle and are excellent table fare. The inshore...

The inshore snapper bite is red hot right now. Using live or cut bait, anglers are catching plenty of legal snapper in the shallow waters.
A few cobia have started to show up, but the large numbers we’ve seen in recent years haven’t arrived just yet.
