Clearwater, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report

Clearwater Harbor and Beaches

Craig Lahr

After our recent cold front, water temperatures have dropped from 86 to 78 degrees. Fish are on the move and the chew. King Mackerel have just made their presence known in the clearwater area. Live Shad, Ladyfish, and Spanish Mackerel are just a few baits to catch one of the speedsters, also known as a smoker. If you are a fly enthusiast, now is the time. If you are looking to have a chance at breaking a world record on Spanish Mackerel or King Mackerel, I am your guy. I have spent countless hours and years to make it happen for me. As an IGFA world record holder and IGFA captain, I have the experience to put you on these 35 MPH speedsters. I hold the IGFA 6lb tippet for King Mackerel at 25lbs. Also redfish are in big nubmers. Cut Ladyfish can't be turned down by these bruisers of the flats. Other baits such as Pinfish and Scaled Sardines will get the job done. So start to book your trip wether you are a pro or a novice on fly, spin, or artificial. There are many different species to target right now off the Clearwater beaches and back water flats.

Thanks,

Capt. Craig

Bio: As with most diehard fisherman I started at an early age. Growing up on the Indian Rocks Pier I learned quickly that the "Oldtimers" were vast with knowledge. They took me under their wings and shared that much needed knowledge. In 1985 Hurricane Elena took away my favorite fishing pier and with it the informal educational sessions I so enjoyed. I moved to later work as a mate on a commercial fishing vessel. In my spare time I fished off piers and the flats.

Then I met an excellent local fisherman by the name of Kenny Krohl who introduced me to "Light Tackle Sport Fishing". I learned the finer points of fly fishing and light tackle. Kenny holds several IGFA World Records on a fly rod and light gear. I have made the backwater estuaries my second home.

Come experience the joys and excitement of "Skinny Water" fishing at it's best!
