Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report do not state the fish’s length in this box. State the length and species in the box below Invited out by Captain Bob for a day of chasing Trout. Start of a perfect day, slight East wind with a brisk incoming tide.

Headed out the Anclote River about 9 AM, first stop was Channel Marker Green 5 on the North side of channel, wind and current provided a nice drift starting in about 3’ working out to +5’ – keeping in the grass was key. throwing Gulp, live shrimp, and pinfish we caught plenty of frisky trout – all in 12”-14” range.

Moved on to Green 7 out if front of Power Plant, started in shallow grass and drifted out to hard bottom. Again, plenty of short Trout – Natural color Gulp shrimp on a Depth Grip Jig head was working for me (see pic, a great hint from Capt. Dencil), Bob was throwing Gulp curly tail until pins would bite of tail – pink was the hot color. The Gulp outperformed the live shrimp for the day.

Ran out to Pasco Red 4 and finished the day inside of Anclote Key – tide went slack, and wind shifted and the bite tailed off so we headed in for the day.

Bob ended up with enough for a fish fry and we enjoyed a cold brew when we got back in…. a great time today ….

A good time was had by all!
