January Fishing Report – Tampa Bay
The first week of 2015 has begun, and the inshore fishing has been outstanding! Snook fishing this winter has been phenomenal and the trout fishing is no exception! Over the past week I have been running charters every day, and most trips have been producing outstanding catches with most days producing 60-80 fish days on four hour trips with some trips pushing a 100 fish!
Snook fishing this winter, and this week in Tampa bay has been outstanding with most charters catching dozens of snook with a few real nice fish mixed in. Most of the snook have been on the smaller side ranging between 16-28", but we have been getting a few on the larger size in the mid 30" range. White bait and shrimp free-lined on both tidal phases has been producing good results.


Trout fishing has been really good this week with limits coming quickly. Most of the trout we have been catching have been mid slot size fish, with some really nice trout pushing the 20" mark being caught. Soft plastic jigs and mirro-lure mirrodine's have also been working well. The morning trout bite has been slightly better than the afternoon bite on most days this past week.


Tips- Morning trout bite and afternoon snook bite.
Bait- Shrimp, White bait, soft plastic jigs, Mirrodine's
Forecast- Snook fishing will be slowing down with cooler weather moving in, trout fishing will remain steady, and Sheepshead fishing will be on fire.
Tight lines,
