Considerations
For something a little different, consider a canoe fishing trip with Flatwater Guides of Brooksville. Fish from a canoe on the Withlacoochee River, where you will journey into remote areas and perhaps not see another person all day. Largemouth Bass are plentiful in these waters.
Springs
Weeki Wachee Springs is a pristine 12-mile-long river that comes from an underground spring and flows into the gulf. Canoe trips on this stream go after bass, bream, mullet and other fish. Canoe nature tours are also available here, and during the season, you may see and swim with manatees. You must have a freshwater fishing license to fish here.
Lakes
The guide service Always Fishing takes anglers to local lakes such as Tarpon, Rousseau or Panasoffke for freshwater bass fishing. Saltwater fishing on brackish water areas like Crystal River, or even in the ocean, is a specialty of this outfitter that operates round Brooksville. There are several other ocean-type outfitters on the Gulf coast, 20 miles away.
