Clearwater - Saltwater Fishing Report
The Tarpon have started to shown up on the West Central Beaches from St. Petersburg to Tarpon Springs. These fish are in in small schools. The fish are also in the backwater as well as on the sand bars witch ofers some great flyfishing. best time to target these brawlers is from daybreak to around 10 AM. For the the fly enthusiast strating a little later to have good sun to sight fish these, there are plenty of these giants from Tampa Bay to St. Joseph's Sound. These areas are prime during midmorning due to excessive boat traffic off the beaches. The Tarpon have been ranging from 80 to 150 Lbs.
Now is the time to book your trip for the thrill that only the King can bring.
Redfishing has been strong on the flats. These bulldogs are feeding on whitebait and hard plastic jerk baits. The average fish are ranging from 26 to 34 inches.
Snook are up and down the beaches and in the passes. White bait has been the bait of choice to coax these weary fish into feeding. Fish ranging from 5 to 20 Lbs. has been the norm.
This is the month to achieve the Grand Slam.
