Tampa Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report
With the recent arrival of warmer weather
conditions, baitfish will soon invade Tampa Bay.
The pelagics will be hot on their heels,and the
Mac attack will be in full force.
St. Patty's Day usually marks the arrival of
King and Spanish Mackerel. Down South,commercial
fishermen have experienced an awesome year for
Kingfish. Captain Jonnie Brown of Naples fished
the Isle of Capri this year and reported filling
his 1250lb quota daily hand lining schooly kings
in the 10-20lb range. These fish will be heading
our way following schools of baitfish up the
gulf.
Fish the edges of large pods of sardines,
glass minnows, ballyhoo and work the edges.
Black-outs on your fishfinder will help you to
locate fish at deeper depths. Trolling a wire
rig or floating balloons will produce good
results. A light drag and a lot of line is what
you will need to land these smokers.
So, get out there and "Get-R-Done" or give me
call and I'll show you how."Fishing Like a Pro"
with EUPRO! Till next time, have a safe and
quality day on the water.
