Florida
Fishing Guide, Captain Jake Herrin has been fishing out of
Yankeetown, Florida for close to 40 years now and has been a
"Captain" for nearly 15, so is very familiar
with the area and feels right "at home" on the water.
Located on the Central West Coast, you'll be fishing some of the
best areas around, from Cedar Key north to the Crystal River,
Homosassa & Chassahowitzka area south.
A fishing day with Captain
Jake starts on the Withlacoochee River to the Gulf of
Mexico Flats in Yankeetown Florida. First thing on
the trip, catch bait for the Redfish. Simple & quick and
he'll show you the best bait for Reds and how to use the bait
for best results.
The
Captain started his "fishing career" back in the fifties
when his family moved to Florida from South Georgia to help run a
fresh water fish camp on Orange Lake. He was guiding out of the
camp when he was about 11 years old and bagging large varieties of
fresh water fish for some very happy customers. Both his Mom and
Dad were very avid Bass fishermen catching some very nice Bass and
several other fresh water species throughout the years. You could
say he just has fishing in his blood! A friend talked him in to
coming over to this area to fish one day about 30 years ago and
he's been coming here since, having caught "salt water
fishing fever".
Redfish, Speckled Trout, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, Sheepshead,
Black Drum, Jack Crevalle & Shark are just some of the fish
you can catch in this area plus, some other species that can be caught at different times of the year;
Pompano, Flounder, Blues, nice keeper Black Bass & Mangrove
Snapper, plus a few other miscellaneous species!
He's even been known to catch some nice "Inshore"
Grouper at certain times of the year.
