Tampa Bay fishing report 4-5-06
Posted: Wed Apr 05, 2006 7:24 amThe Kings are here!
Last week, went to the Skyway area and trolled up a number of Kings---ranged in size from 6 to 15 pounds. Not smokers but plenty of fish to go around.
There were some large spanish mackerel mixed in, hitting the same trolled spanish sardines and threadfins.
The Grouper bite was somewhat slow, probably due to the 2 tide days, but that should improve this week. We will be heading out to 100 feet on Friday.
Inshore, Snook are tearing up the baits in the mangrove lined islands. The key to getting them has been scaled sardines---which are easy to find one day and impossible the next.
Regards,
Capt. Chuck MacIntyre
