Grouper And Snapper In The Bay

Tampa Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report
The grouper and snapper bite inside Tampa Bay
has remained consistant despite the heat.
When the mercury when rises, fish the deeper
water channels and bay bridges.Both have been
producing quality fish. During recent trips
the keeper gags have ranged from 22-30 inches.
The mango snapper have averaged 2-6 pounds.
Pinfish have been the bait of choice and remain
plentiful on the flats. A chum bag tied to your
Anchor rope can bring on a feeding frenzy and
often a shark or two. Heavy spin combos work
best but light tackle can prove to be alot of
fun. When the currents cooking add some lead,
other wise free line your pin on a 40-60 lb.
leader with a 4-6 /0 circle hook.
good luck and catch em up!
