Cooler temperatures bring a HOT bite!
Cooler temperatures bring a HOT bite!
Dec 5, 2025 Port Richey
As we get into the cooler months, fish will be pushing into creeks, canals, and areas that have warmer water. Shrimp will start to become more of a preferred bait instead of the lively greenbacks. When fishing these areas its important to let the bait sit, as fish will become lethargic as the temperatures dip, so that means the fish arent going to chase bait around. Patience, and a good cast will be the key to success. Redfish have been thick in numbers, but not many fish above the cookie cutter size. Lots of big Trout have been caught, on both artificials and live bait. The Flounder bite continues to improve , and weโ€™ve seen some good numbers recently. Snook are in schools in the warmer areas and will bite on the warmer days, if its a day after a cold front theyโ€™ll slow down for a while until the weather warms again. I have some days available if youre looking to get out there and catch some fish.

As the water temperatures cool down, the Sheepshead, Redfish and Trout have been pushing into creeks and areas that have warmer water. A lot of sheepshead have been caught on oyster bars with moving water, and Redfish have been schooled up with the Mullet on flats, deeper water areas, and creeks. Trout have been plentiful and with sizes ranging, the smaller Trout have been more aggressive but patience and persistence brings in the bigger trout after weeding through ghe smaller ones. Lures are producing some nice fish and weโ€™re also catching fish on live bait as well. The weather has been fantastic and fishing continues to be great this time of year. Look forward to seeing yโ€™all on the water. Captain Aaron

Weather has been warming up and the days are getting longer. The Redfish bite has been great as we see big schools of fish moving around both in and out of the creeks. Weโ€™re also catching big Trout on lures and live baits on grass flats and deeper areas. Snook season has opened and the Snook fishing has been good and continues to get better as the weather warms. Weโ€™re catching fish of all species on both artificial and live bait. Looking forward to seeing yall out on the water. Tight lines !

Fantastic weather and fantastic fishing!
Fantastic weather and fantastic fishing!

We had a pretty severe and long cold front push through the Gulf Coast and it has stacked the fish up heavily in warmer areas. As the environment warms up, the fishing will be fantastic and stay steady until the next cold front comes through. Right now you can expect to catch big Sheepshead, Trout, Redfish and occasionally Black Drum. For tackle, weโ€™re using spinning rod and reels with a jighead and for bait weโ€™re using shrimp. This time of year is a lot of fun, weโ€™ll be fishing back in creeks away from humans and being back in the creeks is an adventure itself. Lots of wildlife, and lots of really cool sights to see.

The weather has been HOT and so has the scalloping. Water temperatures are in the 90โ€™s by mid day so fishing can be slow in the hotter parts of the day. Redfish and snook have been eating on the incoming tides early in the morning, in the evenings, and at night when temperatures are the coolest. Sharks and stingrays throughout the day are fun and are a great fight! Mangrove Snapper have been thick in areas and have lots of numbers. Trout have been very consistent and producing lots of action in between bigger bites. Scalloping has been absolutely fantastic this year and weโ€™re hitting bag limits quickly. The weather has been hot, but the water is gorgeous and the days are beautiful. If youโ€™re looking to get a good variety and to make an unforgettable experience the daytime is for you. If youโ€™re the more dedicated angler looking to fish a bit more seriously iโ€™d consider a night time trip just to avoid the summer time boat traffic as well as avoid the heat and have better chances at catching fish. No matter which trip or when you choose to go, youโ€™ll enjoy every moment and have a wonderful time.
