Fishing Reports by Capt. TJ Stewart

TAMPA BAY FISH HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BITE! - Is the tide coming in or out? How hard is the wind blowing? What is the water temperature?

Tampa Bay Putting Some Fish In The Box! - Although spring is just around the corner, we're just going to have to keep filling the boat with redfish and sheepshead for now. One of the great things about fishing this time of the year is that you can fill your cooler with keeper fish be more...
