Tampa Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report
April's Fishing Charter Report For the Tampa Bay, Clearwater beach, and St.Pete Beach area is Good!!!! Just about everything is biting right now, and the Big Tarpon are on the way! Snook, Redfish, Trout, Mackerel, Kingfish, Triple tail, Cobia and many more are keeping anglers busy as of lately!
Inside Tampa bay Snook and Redfish have been the hot targets for my anglers fishing the last two weeks. We have had so extreme winds, and a cold front, but the fish have still been biting good. Live sardines have been abundant in the area right now so the fish are biting well. Live bait has been the key to our success, and having plenty of bait is key. We have been either free lining or using a bobber with the sardines this week and the fish have been biting both. Snook are on the move but once located they are willing to bite. The redfish have been on most flats, but having high water has been the best to lacate them. Some day it takes to some time to find them, but once located the action can be solid for an hr or two!!
Over on the Gulf side King fish, Mackerel, Triple tail, Trout, and Redfish have come to the boat on recent charters. In Clearwater beach area we caught trout, redfish, and triple tail fishing around the barrier islands using live and dead bait, and down south in St.Pete I was able to catch plenty of Kingfish, and Mackerel slow trolling live bait near Egmount Shipping channel while in Sight of the Don Ceasar on St.Petersburg Beach. Now is the time to get out with family, friends and co workers for great fishing and even better memories!
Summer is just around the corner and hotels and Fishing Guides are going to book up fast so now is the time to get both booked. If you are looking to book a Tarpon fishing charter, Homosassa Scalloping charter, or a Family fishing adventure this summer give me a call, text or email. – Capt.Jared (727)831-0111
