Tampa Bay Fishing Reports

Summer Conditions Continue - The latest new moon provided a great minus tide around sunset, which is probably my favorite time to fish on Tampa Bay. When the sandbars rise out of the water and you can see the swash channels, amazing things can happen. The problem has been t more...

August Fly FIshing Tampa Bay - Fly fishing Tampa Bay is great even in August. By far the best way to beat the heat and catch a bunch of fish on fly was to go night fishing. I like to start my trips around 9pm and go till 1 or 2am. But it all depends on the tide. Having good moving more...

Summer Doldrums are Here - The near miss by a tropical storm shut the bite down pretty hard for a couple of days. Even the offshore fishing was reported to be slow, according to Capt. Larry Malinsoki. We did catch a few fish ahead of the storm. Last weekend we had great l more...

Day or Night Tampa Bay rocks - We continue to fish under the stars with good to very good success. Snook & Trout that are too sluggish during the day wake up and are looking for dinner at night. Would you want a big meal during the day? Think about it? Just like us our metabolism more...

Tampa Bay Fishing Non Stop Action! - The full moon and the moving tides are causing fish to move around. While we might have had an easy bite with some species of fish, we've had to work hard for others. Do to the abundance of bait in the Bay; the bite is going to continue to change. more...
