Hernando County, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
Higgenbotham
Today 7/8/07- Targeted Redfish & Snook on an outging tide. Caught 2 nice Snook, and 3 Redfish using Gulp Shrimp (new penny) on an 1/8th ounce jig with a red head. Casting the banks and weed lines, oyster bars, and little creeks and inlets. Because of the high temps., (80's & 90's) it's best to fish early morning and late evening. Fish don't like the heat either, they will look for shadey areas, and deeper drop off's.
