Anclote River
If you're a kayak fisherman or have a boat then the river is great for year round fishing. Fish structures like docks, pilings or mangroves for redfish and snook.
Inshore Fishing
Fishing the grass flats throughout the area is good year round, spotted sea trout hide out on the flats. Fishing near shore like docks, mangroves, oyster beds and structures have all the local inshore fish.
The Anclote fishing pier located in Anclote Gulf Park is good for year round fishing but especially good in the winter months. The water temp is usually higher due to the power plant outfall. The fish like it and you can catch pomplano, jacks, cobia and even an occasional bonefish.
Located about 3 miles west of the mouth of the Anclote River, Anclote Key has grass flats, beaches, and mangroves that all of the inshore species hang around. You'll need a boat to get to the island.
