Been a little slack with the site but that is life sometimes. We have a new little member of the family Maya she is a part Aussie and Chesapeake rescue. Now on to the latest catches. Mike M back in town for a day in the marsh with some slot redfish and some shorts. Then Ray and Mark wanting to get away from freshwater and give the salt a try and both with a handful of redfish of all sizes. Merry Christmas To All…
Here are a few from some personal outings.
With temps in the 90’s it’s the gitter done in the A.M. time of year. Anita giving the kayak fishing gig a shot with a nice slot snook . Then Ron traveling through FL did a brief stay on the Nature Coast with a slot snook and some short redfish. On to Elie wanted to see if he could fly fish from a kayak and that’s what he did with some low slot and short redfish.

Saunder’s K in visiting the Nature Coast from WI , he mentioned wanting to break the learning curve. With that said it was fish on all day some slot reds and more shorts than we could count. Great day on the Nature Coast.
Ole man winter has set in on the Nature Coast and it’s been a long while since a good cold like the one over Christmas. Some mention 2016 /17 mine goes back to Christmas 89 big fish kill down through Clearwater.. Now as for dead fish I’ve seen some in Ozello , catfish, snook of all sizes and bait fish. but a big none in Yankeetown… It definitely was a grind first few days after the spell but the fish have rebounded and are hungry.. Jeff and Gage in from CO had a good day in the Ozello backcountry with some slot reds and some spunky shorts.. Now Todd had one of the grind days and he gave it a good shot with some short reds and a nice 24″ snook and snooklets ( Survivors) As always some pics from personal trips.
With the cooler days and water temps the Nature Coast and Big Bend back country fishing has really heated up. Hit me up for that Back Country Adventure . (352) 442-4311 or Roskfri@gmail.com
