Tampa Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report

Bring it on!

Well it’s about time it has finally warmed up enough for the Snook and Redfish to turn on.

Redfish the last week in the morning has been the best, well we did catch a few through out the day as well, but most of our big Redfish were caught first thing in the morning. We had a few days were we got the Reds in a real good feeding frenzy, were we caught 25 or more fish in a short amount of time one after another. We caught a lot of really nice fish. The Redfish of the week was a 30"er that put up a good fight. We had these fish in such a frenzy were a few times when 3-4 people had fish on at a time. Then it get’s to be a challenge when the fish are running around one another and the people are jumping over one another. That’s what it’s all about.

Then we have the Snook fishing towards the beginning of the week we caught a few Snook each morning. As the day went on it got better, most of the afternoon trips we had a lot of luck with Snook and only caught a few Redfish. We had days were we caught 30 or more Snook in the afternoon. There was a lot of nice fish caught. The Snook of the week was a 29" fish. Oh ya before I forget I was working on my fly fishing skills a little when I happened to catch a 26" keeper Snook on fly that’s right man what a fight. The real fly fisherman managed to catch a few himself. Then Snook and Redfish are not the only fish I have been catching we have caught a lot of nice Trout and Flounder as well.

P.S.

My charter’s are starting to book for March I only have a few days left, but we might be able to get you out in the afternoon. My charter is still pretty open for April so you might want to book those trips now. I will also let you know about the Tarpon fishing.

Look forward to seeing you.
