Well, Steinhatchee was a complete bust after 4 years of abscence. We went down there yesterday and fished from the outermost island to about 1 mile above the bridge...used all colors of mirrorlures...shrimp under corks..fished shallow...fished deep and all 2 of us caught was a few oyster shells. Dixie Rebel was my partner. Not a bite.
There was about 35 boats there. We talked to some of them and they had not a bite..all day.
Water temp was 55 degrees out close to the mouth of the river. Clarity was perfect. Fish were not in the river. All the boats that were there would talk about was, "you ought to have been there last week. We loaded the boat."
The stop in Thomasville for supper was the hilite of the entire trip.

Re: Steinhatchee
I feel your pain brother. I was very disappointed after being there last week and loading the boat. I gues that's why they call it fishin.

Re: Steinhatchee
They probably moved out to the flats near the river. Bivens cove, pine log areas are usually good if they slip out of the river.Fisherman989 wrote:Well, Steinhatchee was a complete bust after 4 years of abscence.
