Welcome to paradise! The Tampa Bay is one of the most beautiful and productive fishing locations in the state of Florida. With its beautiful backwaters, mangrove lines, and grass flats it definitely needs to be a must see for any fisherman. Don't pass up the opportunity of a life time to fish our beautiful waters targeting Snook, Redfish, and Tarpon.
Our Tampa Bay Redfish have been the story this week. We have been caught several Bull Red's in Egg Mont channel anchored up Tarpon fishing. Most of these fish have been over the slot and up to 40 inches. It is truly a blast hooking up on a big Red, with the drag screaming and the rod bent with plenty of open water to fish the fish on light tackle.
The Tampa Bay Snook fishing is not missed a beat. We have been fishing the mangrove lines free lining shiners and the bite has been on. We caught several nice fish this week and it seems when the bite slows down all you need to do is toss a hand full of chumers and the action picks right back up. You also don't want to miss out on the heart pounding action of a Snook stripping drag and bending your rod!
We have targeted our Tampa Bay Tarpon this week with little success. We have seen several Tarpon roll thru with nothing but a passing by.
The trip of the week was with the Flournoy's a father and son duo. We set off at 8:00am for a little late day Tarpon fishing and we decided to head to the pass. We set anchor in approx. 30' of water with a nice tide moving we had the expectation of hooking up with the Silver King. The action was a bit slow at the beginning and then our first fish was on without a break at the surface but a big fish at the end of the line. This fish was screaming drag and taking names. After the battle we got the fish to the side of the boat and it was a 40" Redfish. We hooked up with several other nice Red's but the big high five was the Scotty's monster Red.
