I started fishing Horseshoe Beach for about a year before I moved away from the area. This was a hot spot for my son and I for Speckled Trout. We always caught our limit of trout. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to fish here again since I was staying in Gainesville for a week. It's about a 11/2 hour drive from Gainesville.
This would be my first timing fishing here from a kayak, but I knew I wouldn't have to paddle too far to get to the grass flats. As it turned out I only had to paddle a few hundred yards to find fish. When I first got there the sky looked really bad, there was lightning and thunder for awhile. I decided to wait it out and after about 1 hour I launched my kayak. I paddled about 100 yards from the launch site and right away started catching Trout. I could have had my limit it 45 minutes if I would have landed all the fish that took my bait. Some got off at the kayak and others I simply didn't set the hook in time. It didn't help that I was using 2 poles at a time. After 2 hours I called it quits with my limit and the fish still biting. Horseshoe Beach is still one of best places to catch trout. Here's some pictures.
