Prime Fishing Conditions in Steinhatchee River This May

The Steinhatchee River is offering great opportunities for anglers this May! Water temperatures have risen, and the fish are active in both the river and nearby inshore waters.

Redfish & Trout:
Redfish and speckled trout are the main targets right now. Both species are plentiful around grass flats and oyster bars. Early mornings and late afternoons have been productive, with the best bite occurring during tidal changes. Using soft plastics or live shrimp on a jig head is working well for both redfish and trout.

Sheepshead & Black Drum:
Sheepshead are still active, particularly around the river's rocky areas and pilings. Shrimp and fiddler crabs are your best bait options. Black drum can also be found in the deeper holes, especially around the mouth of the river. Fresh cut bait is recommended for drum fishing.

Snook:
Snook fishing is picking up as they move closer to shorelines. Fishing around the mouth of the river, where the water is warmer, has yielded some nice catches. Live bait like pinfish or mullet works best for snook, especially during low light hours.

Tips for the Week:

Focus on the incoming tide for the best action, particularly for redfish and trout.

Bring polarized sunglasses to spot fish more easily in the clearer waters.

Don’t forget to pack plenty of sunscreen and hydrate during those sunny days.

Overall, the Steinhatchee River is in great shape for anglers looking for a fun and productive fishing trip! Make sure to book your trip soon for an unforgettable experience.

Great group on the water today! Lots of redfish,trout and a great cobia. #releaseover20#salt#obsession#fishing#inshore#nearshore#bigbend#naturecoast#florida#horseshoebeach#steinahatchee#bullbayrods#simrad#yeti#bajiosunglasses
