Hey Folks, it's now January 9th and the winter season  is upon us here in the Cedar Key, Fl. area. Fishing has slowed down a bit with the cooler water temperatures . Last trip out on the 'flats' we caught a few trout and most were too small to keep. I caught one long enough to take home for dinner. This time of year the trout and redfish move into areas where the water temps are a little warmer. They move up and into the shallow tidal streams and creeks and river mouths along this West central coast of Florida. On my next trip I'm going  up the Waccasassa river where I've caught fish along the river banks and right in the deeper channel and across the mouth. The river and surrounding area has never seen any development. Theres' not a slab of concrete or any telephone wires anywhere. Just like it was hundreds of years ago. Excellent habitat for reds and trout. It's real pretty up the river and along the entrance to the mouth. In a river you're protected from any breezes also. Call me at 352-221-5463 if you'd like to explore some unspoiled fishing geounds with me.

  A 4 hour fishing trip for 1 to 5 folks is $275. If there are 6 it's $300. I'll provide all the fishing gear you'll need and  fishing license too,then fillet your catch back at the dock so you can eat fresh fish that evening. Call me at 352-221-5463, or e-mail me at shanadan50@hotmail.com and schedule a trip. Capt. Dan
