Homosassa - Saltwater Fishing Report
This Weekend Looks Great For Catching!
Today is a very windy day for fishing and cooler weather is upon us. Good fishing is expected to return by about Thursday or Friday as the passing of a front has halted feeding. I heard that grouper fishing was awesome two days before the Hurricane Wilma hit. People ask me how fishing is after a hurricane. Once it is totally gone, it is awesome.
I would suggest planning for a great weekend this week with warmer temperatures and possibly some rain. The approach of a new moon will make for some good fishing and hunting.
Fishing will be very good particularly top water lure fishing for trout. Don’t forget to stock up on the Bass Assassin seas shads in Electric Chicken, Cotee grubs in root beer and gold flake, Berkley Power Baits in glow white and the Popa Dog MirrOlure in red and white. My last recommendation is the Cajun Thunder cigar shaped cork for trout.
October 14-22 Was Excellent Trout & Redfishing
Last week, Jimmy Austin of the Atlanta Fishing Club brought in a crew of about 40 guests for two all day trips and two half day trips using 9 local guides headed up by Capt. Jim Long. The trout fishing was so good all week that most all the guest caught their limits of nice fat trout.
Jimmy and Rod fished with me the first day and we kept 10 nice fat keeper trout. We tried for redfish and landed a few small ones and had the winning fish on, but it got away. On the first day, Capt. Ray Wallace and Mark Zorn split the trout pot while Fred Lyles took the redfish prize and the only boat to have their keepers. Mr. Austin and I were a half inch short of a three way split on total length of two trout. 41 ½ inches won the prize. Ray Wallace and Craig Green won the big pot on the third day with the longest trout and redfish.
After the first day of complete limits for each boat, we cut back to keeping only the angler’s limit of 5 trout each. If you like trout fishing, you should have been here. Bunches of trout over 20 inches were released to reproduce and fight another day.
Thursday morning on a half day trip, Craig Green and Vic of JGA went redfishing with me and they enjoyed catching and releasing 17 redfish with their limits of keepers by 9:30 a.m. They were free lining shrimp and casting near shore lines in 3 feet of water on an outgoing tide. Unfortunately, there was not a prize pot on this day as we had the longest redfish and a keeper each.
The Greatest Fisherman
I enjoyed a great day off in church on Sunday. Our Sunday school lesson from the Bible this week was from the book of John where Jesus was walking on the sea where He came upon the disciples’ little boat while they were in a rough storm with big waves in the middle of the lake. They were scared but He said it is I; do not be afraid. As they willingly received Him into the boat they were immediately on the shore where they were going.
The illustration composes a thought that with Jesus in your heart; there is not a storm too great that he can not calm. Once he is in your heart calmness should be implanted no matter what the circumstances are. Have you given your heart to Him?
John 3:16- For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Have a Great Week!
Capt. Mike
