Offshore boats have been bringing in limits of huge red snapper, as well as gag and red grouper. Offshore, however, things are as hot as the temperatures. It’s still possible to catch fish in close, but most are now out in deeper water, in spite of lots of baitfish available in close. Inshore fishing has been tough, with darkened water and lots of nearshore widgeon grass, which we only see after a lot of fresh water comes out of the river and creeks. At this point it’s simply a matter of finding the clearest water, with mixed turtle grass (the wide stuff) and manatee grass (the fine-needled stuff) and sand. Many are running up to Keaton to get their limits, but I’ve heard some reports of clear water north of the Bird Rack and outside of Fish Creek with scallops present. Some pretty heavy rains have left a fair amount of water darkened to the south of the river, but the further north you go, the more scallops can be found. It’s that steamy time of year when inshore fish head to deeper water, offshore fish become really hungry, and people come to Steinhatchee to frolic in the water and pick up the Big Bend version of underwater Easter eggs, bay scallops. ![]()
