I spoke with Pat at Dunedin Fishing Center this afternoon.He says that the fishing is very good both inshore and offshore. The grass flats from the Dunedin Casuway north to Anclote Key, and south to Clearwater Pass, are holding lots of speckled trout, pompano, and whiting. Live shrimp and Berkley Gulp Shrimp are the best baits. In the skinny water behind Caladesi Island and Honeymoon Island, Pats customers are finding large schools of redfish. These reds are passing up there usual favorite, white bait, for cut mullet or cut ladyfish. Cobia and spanish mackerel have invaded Hurricane Pass. Live pinfish, greenbacks, or white bait sight cast to a cruising cobia will usually result in an instant hook up. If you see a large ray swimming by, toss your bait just behind it. Cobia like to follow these rays looking for spooked bait fish. Snook are all over the beaches.Look for them in the first swash channel right next to the sand. Large jigs, slow sinking twitch baits, or a Berkley Saltwater Gulp in the Jerk Shad, Minnow Grub, or Swimming Pogy styles are all good baits. Kingfish can be found on area reefs and wrecks. Last Saturday a 44lb king was taken at Dunedin Reef. For more information contact;
