I spoke with Pat at Dunedin Fishing Center in Dunedin this afternoon. He was telling me that fishing has slowed quit a bit. Lots of undersized trout can still be caught, but the larger speckled trout are hard to find. A live shrimp under a popping cork will catch most trout. Redfish are the same story as the trout. There are still plenty of smaller "rat" reds to be caught, but the larger fish have moved out of the area. Shrimp or gold spoons fished around oyster bars or mangrove shore line will catch redfish. Spanish mackerel are still biting well. Most of the spanish are being caught in Hurricane Pass on strong in-coming or out-going tides. Clark Spoons and Got-Cha Plugs are the best baits for spanish mackerel. Catch and release snook fishing is excellent on the beach and in the passes. Large pinfish and white bait are excellent baits for snook on the beach. Remember that snook season is closed, so all snook caught must be released. Tarpon fishing is also excellent. Look for rolling tarpon near the beach and outside of local inlets. For more information contact;
