Tampa Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report
Snook fishing in Tampa Bay has been awesome. It certainly doesn't feel like winter at all since it has been in the 80's. We are catching good numbers of fish on every trip and today we had a spectacular day catching 45 snook as well as some trout and redfish. Most of these fish are around 24 inches but we are catching plenty bigger ones and usually catching a couple over 30 inches each trip. These snook put up an awesome fight and keeping them out of the mangroves is a true test. The redfishing has also been decent and there have been some very big trout. The wintertime low tides can be very good because they push large numbers of fish until small concentrated areas. A deep hole in the middle of a flat can be loaded with fish.

I still have openings this month if you are looking to get on some fish. I am also beginning to book my dates for this upcoming tarpon season which will be here before we know it. If this weather keeps up they will be here sooner than usual! Catching a 100+ lb tarpon is an experience that I believe everybody needs to have. You will remember your first tarpon for the rest of your life.
Email me at [email protected] or call me at 813-293-4750 if you have any questions or are interested in booking a trip! The fishing is going to remain very hot this month so don't miss out.
