Trout bite The trout are moving around on the flats in 2ft to 4ft of water and there are a few out in the 8ft to 9ft of water still. Use a popping cork for the trout on the flats with a 1/4oz or 1/8oz Jighead with a shrimp or artificial and use a MirrOdine XL to trigger them big trout to bite. When you are fishing them deeper trout use a 1/4oz Jighead with a shrimp or artificial lure.

It can be windy and tough, but if you find a place to tuck up where there's a depot, you can catch trout pompano and other fish with a shrimp on a jig head suspended under a cork.

Redfish, trout and Black drum
With the cooler weather moving in the fish are moving into the rivers and creeks. We are using artificial and shrimp to catch them in the deeper holes as the weather keeps getting colder the fish will keep moving into the deep holes and you can sit in one hole and catch everything.

It's that time of year, water temperatures are dropping, Speckled trout and pompano are moving in tight to bars and tross and getting fat for the cold winter.
You're favorite jig and cork combo. Whether it be a DOA, gulp, Salt water assassin (my personal favorite). Other things work good as well suspending bates like mirrodien, or your favorite top water.
Sara and her friends had a blast today.

With the storm and the full moon passing. The redfish bite has exploded.
When in the right spot it's not unheard-of to catch 20-100 fish. This is highly possible for the next two months.

    We had such a great experience with Captain Jacob! He was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole trip fun for everyone. He knew where to take us, and we had a great time fishing and being out on the water. He was especially great with the kids and made sure everyone felt comfortable and involved. We really enjoyed our charter and would definitely recommend Captain Jacob to anyone looking for a fun fishing experience in Crystal River. We’ll definitely book with him again!

    Had a great afternoon with Justin. Thrifty minutes in we ran into bad weather with wind, lightning and rain. He drove out of it looking for other options and we came back to original area and had a great last 1.5 hours of scalloping with success. We did not limit out, but that was due to weather. Really fun time with first time scallopers.
