October Fishing at Steinhatchee

[HighPockets52]

I have fishing trip planned for late next week unless weather trips me up. I went one time in 2017 scalloping and made up my mind that I would be going back to fish when could work it out. I used to do a lot of salt water fishing as a kid in N.C and then as an adult when I lived in the Caribbean and looking forward to exploring the Steinhatchee area. I was told by friends that Oct. is usually a good month but I was wondering if temp is still too hot?? Going anyway, boat is ready and tackle box is packed. I have enjoyed reading the forum posts as well as YouTube videos for the area.

It should be good down there this month. Go out and try it, move around til you find fish, try different depths and lure colors, presentations. And fish live pins under a cork if you can catch some. Good luck.

I fished out of Steinhatchee last weekend, and will be back down that way in a couple weeks. The bite is starting to heat up. The early morning topwater bite was on fire this past weekend. Once the sun came up and the water heated up the bite shut down. We caught lots of schoolie trout (14"-16"), ladyfish, bluefish, jacks etc.. The larger trout we caught were still out in deeper water (5'-7').
