Tampa Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report
The picture perfect weather that has adorned Tampa Bay came to an abrupt end. Wednesday morning was 10 degrees cooler plus factor in North winds pushing 20 mph and you get the picture. It became very clear early the water was very dirty and churned up from yesterdays storm.
The day started slow, really slow. My anglers had maybe 3 fish landed in the first couple hours.
I made numerous moves searching for cleaner water. Our live green backs fly lined and under corks werent getting the job done. I even moved to water 10' deep hoping to locate trout.
My anglers Jeff and his sons Clayton and Tanner were real sports and very patient. I cant begin to tell you how thrilled I was to finally get on a trout bite. Clayton had the hot hand and either landed or hooked trout for 30 minutes.
Dad Jeff got into the action then Tanner joined the fun. I cant thank my super anglers for hanging in there.
