I got to Steinhatchee around 8 am today and hit the ultimate full moon low tide. For those who know the area, it was dry land from the channel at Rocky Creek to Bird island.
I spent the first few hours fishing topwaters and tore up the trout. They were all good size with a few puffers, lizards and assorted junk mixed in. I even cought a hulk sized pinfish on the skitterwalk.
Finally, the largest trout I have ever had on my line got right to the kayak and decided to keep my skitterwalk as a souvenier.
I switched to a chug bug but it had no mojo.
As the tide came in, I concentrated on reds. Very few tailers but I hooked up three on exude slugs and redfish magic. The red bite is not where it should be for October.
