TAMPA BAY GREAT TIME OF THE YEAR! - The fish are biting! They are still moving around a lot, but when you find them, they are eating. Fall is one of my favorite times of year to fish because there is not as many people fishing as there are in the warmer seasons. Many changes are occ more...

Tampa Bay Summer Time Fishing How It Should Be! - Wow! A lot of changes over the past week the water temp dropped about 5-10 degrees and this has changed some things around.
