Clearwater, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
Clearwater Harbor and Beaches
October is one of the best months to fish with the wide variety of species. There are multiple ways to catch fish, from the novice to the pro. It can get crazy at times.
The Redfish have only been taking artificials. Tarpon, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, and Sharks can be caught off the beaches with big pilchards.
There is such an influx of frybait, that this attracts all of the different species. Any kind of style of fishing will produce many different fish, so if you're ready to catch a variety, now is the time to book a trip.

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!
