Summertime is Here

Tampa Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report

It's been really hot out - not only the air temps - but the water temps are into the 90's making some days more difficult to get the fish to bite. Early morning or evening can make a difference, but a good moving tide can also increase your chances during the mid-day heat!

I've had some clients who don't mind getting in the water to fish for snook and other species. White bait has been the bait of choice along with patience and stealthy approach can yield some great catches. The redfish bite has been good on high, to outgoing, tides. Cut bait and shrimp has been working consistently. A few tarpon are still around as the season winds down!

Tight Lines,
