Fishing Tampa Bay With The California Kid!

Tampa Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report
During a three day excursion in upper Tampa Bay
Ernie Rios, A.K.A. Lil' E, and father Ernie Sr.,
A.K.A. Big E tag teamed a variety of inshore game.
Both did well bagging snook and reds along the
oyster bars north of the Courtney Cambell Causeway.
Live sardines free-lined on the out going tide proved
most effective. Lil' E made it look easy as he
schooled his father on the art of catching fish!
The open bay and north shore bridges have
been holding some nice spanish mackerel.
Lil' E showed them no mercy! Lil' E's bait of choice
was large threadfin sardines on a 2/0 EUPRO
circle hook with 18 inches of IT fluorocarbon.
The mangrove snapper didn't stand a chance
against Lil' E the''snapper slayer!" For best results
Lil' E prefers light tackle. A 1/0 Eupro J hook & 20 lb
IT leader with split shot or egg sinker will do the trick.
Lil' E fished structure with rock bottom in 5-12ft. range.
He used a chum bag to get the party started, waited for
the bite before setting the hook again, again, and again!
Like a true champion Lil' E managed an inshore slam
by catching some nice trout using artificals on
the Caulbreath Isle flats. Not bad for a Kid from
California with two more days of fishing still ahead
of him. Good Job Lil' E!
Till next time have a safe and quality day on the
water, Capt. Sean Hagen of Eupro Pro-Staff.
