Adventure Fishing

Capt. Dan Shannon

Fri, Jul 12th 2013 Fishing News

Every trip out onto the waters of Cedar Key Florida is an adventure in itself. I took folks out fishing during the week of July 7th through July 12th. Each trip had a special exciting point to it. Fishing was good each trip and everyone took home fresh fillets to have for dinner. Mackerel and speckled trout are all over the shallow `flats` feeding off the grassy bottom and the schooling bait fishes. Fishing is `fast and furious` (where have I heard that before?) You don`t have to have much patience fishing in an area called Kris Knox. It`s a shallow grassy sandy area about 3 miles away from Cedar Key. It`s a nursery for fish. Small fishes living down in the grass on the bottom. As the tide comes in schools of bait fish swarm in and around, and larger predator fish come in to feed on all the fish.
