Tampa Bay Fishing Reports

Tampa Bay - South Shore - The first major cold front of the season has come and gone, and it pushed water temperatures back into the 60s. That should send snook scurrying for deeper, warmer water, but I’m still finding a few on the flats. My buddy Gabe Krakowski of Brooklyn h more...
