Fishing Seasons
Fishing Steinhatchee
When we tell you that the best fishing in Steinhatchee is available year round, we are not kidding…here is a breakdown of the four seasons, and what types of angling they are most famous for.
Each season offers something special for those coming to fish in Taylor County, Florida. Here is a list of the most popular fishing venues throughout the year:
- Summer: The summer months 7/1 – 9/21 (July – September) are best known for scallops. The scallop fishing in Steinhatchee is phenomenal—one of the most popular in all of the USA. The season runs from 7/1 to 9/10. With just some fins and a snorkel, you can catch scallops. If you have never been fishing for scallops in Steinhatchee before--don’t worry—we will give you some tips on where to catch them (they prefer the sea grass beds over the turtle grass). It might sound a little complicated, but it’s not—it’s easy! All ages of adults and children can catch scallops, so bring the whole family. Summer is also the time to catch Cobia (also known as Lemon Fish if you are a Cajun). On the flats, you will find an abundance of Tarpon this time of year. Redfish and trout are good during the summer, as well as flounder.
- Fall: Some of the best fishing Steinhatchee is capable of offering takes place in the fall. The flats are crammed with trout, Spanish mackerel, redfish, and blues. Further off shore our guests are known to be slaying the grouper, snapper, sea bass, and even Kings. From Oct – Nov, “gator” trout come up the river. The gator trout are a real highlight in our Steinhatchee fishing season. Come and experience the gator trout on light tackle—it is an experience that will forever bring back fond memories!
- Winter: The winter months 1/1 – 3/1 is a good time for the grouper spawn. They can be caught inshore during this time—within ten miles of shore! Sheephead can be caught on the reef, and the trout and reds can still be found in good numbers. Our “snowbird” guests come down during the winter months and spend a month or two, so this is another time of the year when one will want to reserve far in advance. It should be noted too that there is good deer hunting during this time of the year as well—contact us for more details about hunting in Steinhatchee.
- Spring: ahhhhhhhhh. The renewal of Spring! Yet another great time to be fishing in Steinhatchee. Offshore: sea bass, grouper, and snapper are biting. Kings are running again, and they can be caught while trolling. Inshore: the trout, reds, mackerel, bluefish, and Jacks are abundant this time of year—and all can be caught close to shore, and in the backwaters. All kinds of artificials are effective this time of year, as well as your live bait staples—pin fish and live shrimp.
