Oh yeah Google Maps is a great tool to prospect for fishing spots. I'll get back to you later today if I hear anything from them. I'll ask my buddies back home if they've been fishing and if the flats are lighting up yet. It's been filled by rain water, it's a real pretty place to check out for a relaxing walk. Across Osowaw from the coast guard post is a nice wildlife refuge/old rock quarry.

There'll usually be a skinny blond headed guy there named Michael Senker (we were classmates), he'll know what's biting and what to throw. There's a bait and tackle shop on Osowaw Rd next to the Sunoco. Watch the tide too, the water will completely disappear during low tide and I've had to get out and drag even a little 12 ft boat in 3 inches of water. Those rocks are basically all the cover there is, it's relatively shallow in Hernando County. Definitely go slow, and watch for rocks when roaming the flats. It's mostly sand bottom there, with tons of submerged rocks. Around there are some large rocks that snapper will hang around. Last time I went through that little creek I saw 3 good sized and legal snook, that was back in the winter.Ĭoming out of Bayport towards Pine Island, there's an island called Rock Island. If your boat drafts shallow enough, go chase a snook. If you look on Google Maps, there's a small creek between Mud River and Weeki Wachee, and snook will hang out there. Again, fishing the rivers is much more effective during winter.Īcross from the Bayport public fishing pier, there's a oyster bar right out of casting range of the shore guys. There will be pilchards there at the spring you can net for.ĭefinitely check out Hospital Hole on the Weeki Wachee, and bring fiddlers or small crabs for sheepshead. Also caught my personal best red there last time I went. If water temps are still low enough, you'll see snapper by the thousands there. Try fishing the end of the Mud river too, at the spring. Generally there will be a boat or two there, so it's a well known spot. It's a bit to the right of the channel, at the confluence of the Weeki Wachee and Mud rivers. On your way out from Mary's, a bit before the Bayport Public ramp is a good spot for trout and reds, there's a pretty deep hole there known as Gator Hole.

Trolling a Yozuri minnow up and down the Mud River has produced trout in the winter, I also caught a gigantic smoothback puffer fish doing the same. I've never actually seen anyone catch anything off the seawall at Mary's Fish Camp when I pass it. The Mud River is a salt intruded spring fed river that's a great spot for schooling Mangrove Snappers, reds, and trout, in the winter time. The horizontal location collection method was 'Interpolated from MAP.' and the accuracy is 5 seconds.That's my neck of the woods I grew up in Brooksville!
