Homosassa Bay - Citrus, FL Fishing Report on 10th Jun, 2025

The bite is steady across the Homosassa area, with great opportunities both inshore and offshore.

Inshore: Redfish are active along the mangrove edges and oyster bars, especially during the higher stages of the tide. Anglers using live shrimp or cut bait are seeing solid hookups. Snook are holding near structure and flowing channels, hitting soft plastics and live pinfish. Seatrout action remains consistent over the grass flats in 3–5 feet of water, especially early in the morning using popping cork rigs or paddle tails.

Nearshore: Spanish Mackerel and Mangrove Snapper are around the rock piles and ledges just a few miles out. Small live bait or jigs tipped with shrimp are producing well. Tripletail are also being spotted near floating debris and crab trap buoys—bring a rod rigged with a shrimp under a float just in case.

Freshwater: Largemouth Bass are biting early and late in the day. Topwater lures are working well around lily pads and grass edges, while soft plastics and live shiners are doing the job once the sun is high. Local rivers and lakes are seeing consistent action, especially near deeper drop-offs and submerged timber.

Scalloping: Scallop season hasn’t kicked off just yet, but the water clarity is improving. Keep an eye out—early season scouting is showing promise.

Tip of the Week: Keep your tackle light for inshore and freshwater trips, and make sure your gear is organized—less clutter on board means more room to focus on the fish.
