Ah yes ! Some free time.

Hey folks , Haven't been out all summer because of the work load but I'm finely getting some time freed up. Just wondering what to target this time of year and where I should go. I can go from  CK down to Homosassa. Thanks for any advice !

I fish out of Crystal River. Normally this time of year everything seems to start to get on the move. Grouper in 10-30 feet of water. You could try trolling the ledges of the Barge Canal. Trout in 3-6 feet of water near the scallop rack area.  Reds and snook on the outer islands near St. Martins keys. For the most part trout, reds and snook will eventually make their transitions to the river mouths and then up into the creeks once the water temps start to drop quite a bit. Hope this helps. Good luck

Thanks Debo !

It's a good time to start targeting over sized reds and snook on the outside mangroves. Three hours before the tide tops out is most productive but then fish the areas where it narrows as the tide is outgoing.

xmuskyguide Ive seen the areas of mangroves South of CR and theres another large area of them North of YT. Wonder if both areas will hold fish ?

Did well today with Gags in 12' - 25' of water out of the barge canal. I'll post a report tonight.

I have several hundred rockpiiles that I've saved as I found them. I work an area trolling from icon to icon when they're grouped together.

Trout fishing should start getting good inshore. I caught some nice ones on the shallow flats in the taller grass last weekend.
