Big Homosassa Redfish & Trout December 2012

A warm December is really heating things up inshore. Redfish and trout have been on fire the last couple of weeks with no signs of slowing down. We've had some days with heavy morning fog which have been interesting to navigate through. If you've been waiting to get out and drop the hammer on some fish now is the time! Keeping things simple is key. Trout have been agressively biting Berkley Gulp 4" Shrimp with a 2/0 Circle hook through the tip of the bait. Make sure to use a 20# Flurocarbon leader. The sea trout have been holding up inshore in 2-4' of water in grassy bottom and areas that are holding kelp grass. Work slowly through the grass and this should produce some fish for the cooler. Most of the redfish landed on my boat have been with 1/2" Johnson Sprite gold spoons and cut lady fish on an incoming tide on rocky points South of Homosassa. Good luck and tight lines. Capt.
