Tampa Bay Fishing Reports

April and May

In the last couple of weeks my Tampa Bay fishing clients have been catching good numbers of snook, redfish, and trout. The redfish have been eating very good on the higher tide days. I have been on a couple of different schools of redfish and they are really coming to life when I throw a couple dozen greenbacks (baitfish) out for chum.

They start exploding on every bait, then we throw our lines out and it is almost instant hookups. I took my two sons out fishing for Easter. My 10 year old son Daimon caught 4 or 5 redfish and then he told me his arms were hurting so he decided to watch is older brother (Bailey) catch redfish. Bailey being the true fisherman that he is, continued to catch fish. He ended the day catching 10-12 redfish and two very nice trout.

The snook have been eating good on days that have good water movement. We have been fishing very close to the Mangrove trees, most of my clients have been able to get the snook away from the trees but a couple of monster snook took them......Read More

Fishing Forecast April & May

This is definitely a great time to be on the flats of Tampa Bay. Snook will be biting very good on the strong incoming and outgoing tides. During the higher tides they will be near the Mangrove trees and on the lower tides they will be out on the flats and in potholes.

Redfish schools will be all over the flats on higher water. Once you find a school of redfish, start throwing dozens of baitfish into the school and you could have hours of non-stop action.

Fishing in Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay is one of the country's largest estuaries and home to some of the country's most saught after gamefish. Shallow water fishing enthusiests have descended upon it's shallow flats for decades in search of snook, redfish, trout and tarpon and with todays conservation initiatives, the fishing has never been better.

Tampa Bay offers excellent fishing opportunities all year round. The scenery and targeted species may change with the seasons but the awesome fishing action remains the same throughout the year. In the Spring you'll likely be fishing the flats and near creaks and river mouths for snook, redfish and trout. In the Summer you'll be chasing snook, redfish and trout on the flats again but you'll also have the added bonus of getting into some great mackerel and snapper fishing in the open water of Tampa Bay. In the fall the redfish bite hits it's peak and 100 fish days on the flats are not unheard of. Then in the wintertime you'll head to the brackish backwaters in search of redfish, sheephead, trout, snook and jack crevelle.

Spring, summer, fall or winter... the fish are here waiting on you!
