Hernando Beach - Saltwater Fishing Report

Grouper fishing is good, we have been catching allot of small Red and Gag Groupers. Each day we catch over a hundred fish that are released. At the end of the day we usually have enough keeper size Grouper to make anyone happy. The Kingfish are starting to show up here and there; however the Spanish Mackerel are all over the place in all depths of water. Many Mangrove Snapper and Grunts are caught each trip and are a welcome addition to any fish fry. The best baits are Threadfin Herring and live Pinfish.

Sea ya on the water,

Capt Rick Rodriguez

Hernando Beach Fishing Forecast:

Hernando Beach Fishing Forecast: More King fish will be in the area after the next cold front passes. Larger Gag Grouper will be pushed down also as the water temperature continues to drop. Fish slower and chum a little to get the Grouper bite going.
