Homosassa - Saltwater Fishing Report
Cotee Jig takes trout with ease
Spotted seatrout fishing has been really red-hot for about a week. Catches of limits have been made by several top local guides and private recreational anglers as well. In fact, most anglers have been getting their limit before noon. As long as the weather stays warm this trend will continue.
Old faithful remains to be the Cajun Thunder cork rig, the cigar shaped one in red, although the chartreuse is easier to see. A 24-30 inch section of 25 pound test mono or fluorocarbon attached to the bottom end of the cork is step one of creating the rig. Step 2 is tying a 1/8 ounce Cotee live-eye action jig head in the color red with a universal knot.
Step 3 is inserting a plastic tail of your choice. This is where the experiment begins as far as color goes. Cotee makes dozens of patterns to choose from. I like rootbeer color with gold flake in the grub tail. Also the split tail shrimp which has twice the action in white or green is good.
Cotee makes a shad tail pattern and their are several choices to consider. Pearl white, glow and gold. Cotee’s swirl tail in motor oil and white are top choices as well.
Besides my favorites, other guides are using the Berkley Powerbaits in rootbeer or glow white. Mann’s Stingray grubs in pink/white are the old guides stand-by. Bass Assassin also makes salt water tails. The Love Lure which is a tandem rig tied with two jigs together is still a popular local favorite in pink, white and chartreuse.
Remember if you are too busy to go fishing, you are just too busy!
