What's Biting in Homosassa Right Now?

March 2018 Homosassa Fishing Action
March this year is predicted to be a bit better than usual. When we have prolonged or colder than usual winters, when the fish come back - they come back hungry. We saw the start of this last month and plan to continue to see this trend throughout the rest of spring. 

Redfish are still popping off with a great bite and in great sizes. The winner this month will be the sea trout bite however. This is the month that sea trout come out on the grass flats with a vengeance. 

Another great species that will start making appearances is cobia. Though not as prolific as redfish and sea trout, if you want a shot at a cobia - this is the month to start getting that chance.

April 2018 Outlook
I know I just sold you on redfish, sea trout, and cobia for March - but April will see even higher activity with the three species. This month begins a 3 month pattern of the absolute best fishing for them. Making entry will also be snook and some resident tarpon - in small numbers (but we are getting there!).

Homosassa Fishing FAQ

What types of fish can you catch in Homosassa?

Homosassa, Florida is home to our favorites of course, The Southern Slam! The Southern Slam is when you land a redfish, sea trout, and a snook during a single trip. Homosassa is home to these to three species, but this part of Florida is home to so much more as well.

fish species list
Other targeted species include flounder, spanish mackerel, various inshore sharks, cobia, seasonal tarpon, hard fighting jack crevalle, sheepshead, and even black drum can be found here. This is still just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to fishing this area, but these species are guaranteed to put a smile on your face. This diversity is also what helps make Homosassa a great year round fishery. There is always something biting with Southern Slam Outfitters!

What style of fishing do you do?

We fish the inshore waters around Homosassa, Hernando County, and all along the Nature Coast utilizing a variety of techniques. This includes everything from cut and live bait to artificials. We have an active fishery where artificials can easily make for a productive day, but at the same time, given the time of year and species targeted, we remain equipped to change things up as each situation and/or species targeted calls for. 

Can we keep the fIsh?

You sure can! We adhere strictly to FWC's guidelines (Current FWC Saltwater Regs - opens in new tab) for limits and slot sizes, but if you would like to take some fresh Florida fish home with you - you can definitely do that. If you prefer a catch and release style trip, we have you covered there as well. The trip is yours to make it as you would like it. Have questions? Give is a call 352-361-0731.

If we keep fish, will you clean it for us?

We sure will! We will clean and bag your catch to ensure you have the freshest and best fillets to take home and enjoy without any of the hassle. 

Where will we depart from or meet at?

We pick up at the Homosassa Riverside Resort located at 5297 S Cherokee Way Homosassa, Florida 34448. The Homosassa Riverside Resort has lodging, sightseeing tours, restaurants,  and of course - the best fishing charter fleet in Homosassa!

How many people can we bring on a fishing trip?

Our primary boat is designed to take up to 4 people. But, Southern Slam Outfitters also has a proprietary second boat we can utilize for larger parties, as well as friends in the industry who we trust to put even larger groups on the water all at the same time. Just let us know your needs and we will get the trip together with the best in the area!

What Our Clients Are Saying

Capt. Carey is awesome! Our Scouts are still talking about this incredible experience. Not only did we all catch fish, but Capt. Carey took the time to teach about the fish and the unique habitat of the Homosassa area. He explained how to use the tackle and displayed how to tie a variety of fishing knots. The day ended with the best southern fish fry I have ever had. We are planning to fish with Capt. Carey every year.
