Tarpon Springs, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
Anclote Key
The last couple of week the water has warmed and bait (scaled sardines and greenbacks) is all over the the flats.
We have had some nice catchs if big gater Trout up to 6 pounds most coming on live sardines free lined. But most if our trout
have been 3 to 4 pounds and landing 10 to 40 trout a day. The Redfish have been up on the oyster bars and rock piles feeding on crabs and
shrimp. But we have been using live sardines and cuting the tail off the sardine. This will let the redfish find and catch our bait.
We have had some big redfish around 8 pounds and 5 to 10 a day.
A week ago the water temp hit 72 and the Snook bite got turned on good and a cold front came throw and slowed the bite down
But we landing some nice snook.

Bio: Born and raised in Saint Petersburg Florida, he's fished these waters all of his life. That's over forty years on the gulf, in it's tributaries and it's estuaries. From the back country estuaries of Tarpon Springs and Anclote Island, south past Clearwater Beach, and Tampa Bay; clear down to Charlotte Harbor, Boca Grande pass, he focuses on catching fish that unforgettable, lifetime, memories are made of. Pick the season right and catch giant tarpon, inshore slams of large snook, big bull redfish and seatrout after seatrout. When the water's right, he pursues large gulf grouper by hunting the nearshore rockpiles and reefs of the lower naturecoast. This specialty is only practiced successfully by native Florida Fishing Guides who truly understand the ebb and pulse of the gulf. Capt. Tom will be celebrating a decade on the water as a U.S. Coast Guard Licensed Captain in 2007.
