Hillsborough River
Posted: Mon Apr 14, 2008 8:01 pm
I've lived in Florida a majority of my life and I've never fished the Hillsborough River. I did recently, launching at Hillsborough River State Park.
The river was up because of recent rain and flowing pretty good. Fishing in the river was very slow. But I found some water off the main river that was fairly productive.
I caught fish on my Skitterbug, Myakka Minnow and No. 10 nymph. Caught quite a few bluegill, shellcracker and redbreast sunfish. I'd never caught redbreast sunfish before. Also caught a couple of small bass and a gar.
My rating: 7 out of 10. I'd go back.
