Whether fishing from land or boat, the Blackwater River is one of the most scenic and productive saltwater fisheries in the area. It flows through the Collier- Seminole State Park and offers opportunities to fish, camp, picnic, hike, kayak or bike. Redfish and snook frequently hide in mangrove shorelines while largemouth bass frequent the rocky banks. Watch for egrets and herons, as these birds often indicate fish are near.
Fishing on the Blackwater River is a year-round activity, although the upper and middle sections of the river are difficult to access after heavy rains. High water levels also make this area difficult to fish, so check current river conditions before visiting.
Many beaches and bays provide ideal spots for anglers to catch a variety of coastal species. To find a good spot, look for areas where the breaking waves break in irregular patterns, which indicates sandbars and holes. If fishing from a beach, be sure to pay attention to weather conditions as fish feed most actively during dawn and dusk hours. Also, be aware of any wind changes as a strong breeze can stir up surface food and lure fish from their hiding places.
