Clearwater, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
St. Josephs Bay
Spent 4 days fishing the open waters of the gulf and back bays surrounding Clearwater.
We mainly fished with light spinning tackle, as I left to fast to pack any of my fly gear.
It was great to get south and feel the sunshine and a tug on my line.
We fished aboard "Reel Therapy" south, a 22ft Pathfinder with bow mount electric which was great! Got to use a new "power pole" for the first time and it was a great option.
We found lots of smaller fish with an occasional sighting of a large snook to keep us on our toes.
Small stickbaits and jigs were the ticket.
Plenty of Ladyfish as well. Kinda light on the Spanish mackeral just yet but they are picking up.
Remember if you are looking to fish for back bay and river stripers in the navesink, shrewsbury and raritan river, please reach out to me at reel therapy fly & light Tackle to reserve your spring trip!

Bio: My name is Capt. Paul Eidman, I grew up fishing with my father and grandfather out on Long Island, we fished both the North and South Shores for blues, bass, sharks and everything else that swims. I was transplanted here in New Jersey back in the ‘70’s,
I quickly adapted to my new waters and have a very diverse fresh and saltwater angling background. I am eager to show you some of the techniques and tricks specific to these local waters that are acquired with years of fishing experience.
Since 1991, our company, Reel Therapy has become diverse as well. We offer personalized, guided fishing trips for the beginner or advanced angler aboard our 20’ Light Tackle guide boat. Most trips are with 2-3 anglers and are 6 hours or so long and leave from a variety of ports depending upon the time of year. We trailer our boat closer to the fish to maximize your fishing time.
We specialize in saltwater fly fishing and light tackle sport fishing for Stripers, Bluefish, Weakfish, False Albacore and more.
We have expanded our services by offering experienced anglers trips by fishing kayak as well. You and several of your fishing buddies could enjoy a day paddling and fishing areas that rarely see any angling pressure at all.
During the summer and fall, we also offer group kayak ecotours. This is a great opportunity to bring along your non fishing friends and explore the estuaries and backwaters of Central NJ.
Whatever your outdoor interests may be, REEL THERAPY will put together a trip just for you!
