Steinhatchee is a wonderful
place to go. It’s one of the last of
the great fishing villages in
Florida. It’s so pretty there and
the people are so nice. I was
there a few weeks ago with Trish
from Good Life Community
Magazine taking pictures with my
friend Susan from The Source
Properties promoting Steinhatchee.
It was such a beautiful day to
be out on the water. The wind was
blowing a bit, but we went out to
the mouth of the river and took
some photos of a bunch of us with
fishing poles. Couldn’t have
picked a better day, the water
wasn’t too choppy and not a cloud
in the sky. The scenery was beautiful
as we took two boats a little
ways into the mouth of the Gulf.
This is one of the last remaining
areas of old Florida, and I love to
come here to fish and relax as
often as I can.
This time I brought my ranch
foreman, Frank, who I enjoy fishing
with, and the girls talked him
into being in a few of the pictures,
too. They had a good time finding
places for us to pose with our
fishing poles. I had such a good
time.
I decided to put off fishing until the next morning and spend the afternoon talking to my girls about my upcoming fishing tournament to benefit the Shriners Hospitals for Children on April 12, 2008. Jeff Miller from Miller's Boating Center in Ocala, Florida, gave us a great discount on a boat we are raffling off for the children.
We hope to be able to donate over $20,000 to the Shriners from this raffle. The Shriners are such a great organization; I have been a Shriner for a long time and can't say enough about what they stand for.
I would like to thank the Lake City West Jacksonville Shrine Club for really embracing the event this year. You know Susan and Sheila told me 60 Shriners have confirmed hotel rooms that weekend and will be in Steinhatchee for the tournament.
What could be better than raising money for disabled children and a weekend full of fishing and music? Now it just can't get better than that. |

Steinhatchee Fishing Season |

SPRING SEASON (April - June): One of the offshore highlights in Spring is the
running of the King Mackerel as they search for warm waters. Grouper, Black Seabass and Red
Snapper are also popular catches in the waters offshore. Great fishing also exists if you’re looking
to stay in the shallower in-shore waters of the Steinhatchee area. Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish,
Redfish, Spotted Seatrout and many other popular types of fish are common catches here.
