FRIDAY. JANUARY 25,2008 SPORTS NEWS-LEADER Sea trout soon off limits in area ea trout will be off limits in less than a week in Northeast Florida waters and the ban lasts through the entire month of February. Speck fishermen will need to take special care in releasing hooked sea trout so they will have an excellent chance in sur- viving. Recent cold fronts have dropped water temperatures in the backwater into the mid 50s, which should find sea trout schooling in deep holes this weekend. One of the best trout holes is the deep waters sur- rounding the Nassau Bridge. Fishermen will find fast seatrout action during the last of the incoming tide while drifting 'shrimp deep under a.trout float. Be sure to clieck with local bait and tackle shops the day before the weekend to make sure that they have plenty of live shrimp available. A high tide on Saturday arrives at 11:30 a.m., offering a perfect tide for fishing for sea trout in the morning and redfish in the afternoon. Look for redfish in the flooding marshes during the last few hours of the incoming tide. Cast an in-line spin- Terry Lacoss ner in a char- treuse color pattern. ONTHE Look for red- WATER fish to school a few hours after the tide begins to fall. Fish with Berkley Gulp shrimp dead on the bottom and at the deep sides of boat docks and oys- ter bars. Offshore fishermen can expect fast action with black sea bass at FA, FC and KBY fish havens. Kingfish are still holding in water depths of 90-120 feet. The Elton Bottom is an excellent choice for winter trolling for king mackerel. A full moon arrived Tuesday with the next full moon arriving Feb. 21. Increased bedding SPECIAL TERRY LACOSS/SPECIAL Scott Hood, left, is pictured with a beautiful eight-point, 145-pound deer he shot during a past hunting trip to Folkston, Ga. Scott is a member of the Toledo Hunt Club, where members enjoyed a great hunting season. Sea trout fishing will be closed in Northeast Florida waters during the entire month of February. Right, Karen Goyette hooked this nice Amelia Island speck while fishing with her brother, Rob Goyette. action should begin for trophy- size largemouth bass beginning this weekend and right up through the full moon in February. Look for small ponds and lakes in Northeast Florida to hold increased bass fishing action, where lucky fishermen may hook into the bass of a life- time. One of the best fishing tactics for big bass this weekend is working a minnow-type plug, like the Smithwick "Rattling Rogue," over submerged grass beds in shallow water. The News-Leader encourages local anglers to submit photo- graphs of their catches. The News- Leader will publish them in this space on Fridays. E-mail photos to bjones@fbnewsleadercom, mail them to P.O. Box 766, Fernandina Beach, FL 32035, or drop them by the office at 511 Ash St. in Fernandina Beach.
