The big Redfish and Snook have began schooling and staging in the creek mouths and open flats from Ozello through the Big Bend of Florida. The have are being caught on surface plugs and a variety of soft plastic baits. Now is time to BOOK YOUR TRIP……
Beat the heat and beat the thunderstorms… The mornings have been the ticket dodging a few showers and beating the heat. Make the most off your time by covering a good distance and work those schools of mullet and oyster bars and you will produce fish……
Robert G back down for a quick visit nailed this nice slot snook in Yankeetown before the heat and storms.
Life got in the way of fishing for June but was still able to get a couple great inshore kayak anglers out. Pete one of my regulars who likes to hit Cedar Key nailed 2 nice slot Redfish and a few shorts on topwater. Then Ralph new to the Homosassa area wanting to figure this area out. Ralph worked some topwater , spoons and swimbaits.. Success he nailed 2 slots and a few shorts. B
The Back Country creeks have been on fire lately with plenty of nice size fish hitting all types of baits. Topwater plugs having had the most success. Here are a few pics Ray from PA with a nice slot redfish and a few of myself. B
I recently had Dr. Hal H an avid white water kayaker but fished out of a small boat in his home waters. Hal did not miss a beat on his 3/4 day standing in “Bonafide ss 127″ He missed a couple of shots on some tailing redfish. Then we hit the lower tide potholes for some snook and made it happen with a 26″ and a 30” for the dinner table.
Here are a few pics from my personal outings
The first 3 guided kayak trips in the new Bonafide ss 127’s total success everyone caught fish and enjoyed the comfort , stability and being able to stand and sight cast. here are a few pics .
Next are a few from my scouting trips and what I call “ME” Days.
Took the month of January and a portion of February to revamp the kayak’s and other equipment. FHKC now has 3 “Made in the USA” Bonifide ss127 kayaks , Werner paddles , Engel Dry box/ Coolers. I have taken them all out for a test rum making sure everything is in working order with the “Cadillac” style seat , rudder and overall performance of the kayak and I couldn’t be happier . The stability of these kayak’s is overwhelming. So if standing and sight casting is your game we have the kayak and gear for you. FHKC
FHKC had some great folks to end 2020. Heidi from MN, Patrick from South FL and Joel from IL. They all got to enjoy the beauty of the Nature Coast and had fun fishing.
Had some great clients past weeks. Ray C , Kelly and Von also Nick B and his dad Mark. Everyone caught some nice fish some lost some nice fish. I don’t write much so here they are. B
With some great tides lately, the back country creeks have been holding some nice Snook and Redfish of all sizes.

Trips are now and have been available to this pristine estuary located in upper Levy county through Taylor County Fl. With clear water and endless grass flats. This area is a kayak fisherman’s dream.
