Those rocks are basically all the cover there is, it's relatively shallow in Hernando County. Definitely go slow, and watch for rocks when roaming the flats. It's mostly sand bottom there, with tons of submerged rocks. Around there are some large rocks that snapper will hang around. Last time I went through that little creek I saw 3 good sized and legal snook, that was back in the winter.Ĭoming out of Bayport towards Pine Island, there's an island called Rock Island. If your boat drafts shallow enough, go chase a snook. If you look on Google Maps, there's a small creek between Mud River and Weeki Wachee, and snook will hang out there.

Again, fishing the rivers is much more effective during winter.Īcross from the Bayport public fishing pier, there's a oyster bar right out of casting range of the shore guys. There will be pilchards there at the spring you can net for.ĭefinitely check out Hospital Hole on the Weeki Wachee, and bring fiddlers or small crabs for sheepshead. Also caught my personal best red there last time I went. If water temps are still low enough, you'll see snapper by the thousands there. Try fishing the end of the Mud river too, at the spring. Generally there will be a boat or two there, so it's a well known spot. It's a bit to the right of the channel, at the confluence of the Weeki Wachee and Mud rivers. On your way out from Mary's, a bit before the Bayport Public ramp is a good spot for trout and reds, there's a pretty deep hole there known as Gator Hole. Trolling a Yozuri minnow up and down the Mud River has produced trout in the winter, I also caught a gigantic smoothback puffer fish doing the same. I've never actually seen anyone catch anything off the seawall at Mary's Fish Camp when I pass it. The Mud River is a salt intruded spring fed river that's a great spot for schooling Mangrove Snappers, reds, and trout, in the winter time. Mineralization is characterized by gold associated with barite, pyrite, decalcification and silicification hosted in the Webb Formation at the contact with the Devonian Guilmette limestone.That's my neck of the woods I grew up in Brooksville! At nearby deposits, mineralization is strongly controlled by anticlines (Rain) and extensional faults (Emigrant Springs). Alteration appears to be structurally controlled, and may have leaked into the upper plate directly above mineralized lower-plate rocks.Īnomalous pathfinders (As, Sb) have been identified on the project area through reconnaissance rock chip sampling. The alteration is expressed as sulfidation, silicification and local decalcification in the allochthonous upper plate rocks. The host rocks are composed of both the allochthonous calcareous mudstones and carbonate rocks of the Devonian Woodruff, Mississippian Webb, and Chainman Formations, as well as the eastern facies carbonate rocks. Syn- to post-mineral extensional faulting has acted as fluid conduits and/or cuts and offsets mineralization. Anticlinorium formed as a result of the contractional deformation. Pre-mineral compressional faulting (Roberts Mountain Thrust) have juxtaposed western facies siliciclastic rocks on top of eastern facies carbonate rocks. The Spring Canyon property position is located immediately north of the mineralized Rain structural corridor and the Mud Springs property is located northeast of the Emigrant Springs deposit. Spring Canyon and Mud Springs are Carlin-type gold projects located ~6 km southeast of Carlin, Nevada and are available for partnership. Skellefte Gold - Akerberg & Rismyrliden.
