Northern Areas Yield Good Action


Dear Frank, It is obvious that the saltwater fishing is not so hot above Tarpon, but just once could you guys throw us a bone and show areas in Pasco and Hernando? If there are places to wade above Green Key, we non-boaters would be tickled pink that someone knew we existed. Thank you, Leonard Reiss

Leonard: Fishing is great above Tarpon Springs, and I fish there often. In the past few months we’ve had pieces on the trout fishing up in your area, and on the trout at Homosassa, among others. Of course, wading can be a problem up there, particularly north of Hernando Beach, because of the vast marshes that guard the area. I know quite a few people who do well fishing off the Honeymoon Causeway, north side for trout and around the undercuts for snook. Right now, in that area, best bet would be to go to Honeymoon and fish the beaches for snook--walk all the way up to the north end, fishing as you go, on a rising tide. Cast within 10 feet of the beach ahead of you as you go with a Tsunami 4 inch swimbait or a Mirrodine - you’ll hook up. Tight lines. Frank Sargeant
