Since the hard freeze of November Inshore fishing has been slow with with chilled water temps from fronts un December and January.

With the coldest air coming Christmas Eve day of 40° as high temperature and 20 to 30° low temperatures for the next 4 days is going to create some tough fishing conditions. With all the new fishing charter businesses that opened in 2020 during Covid and being young and have not experienced fishing the cold […] The post Cold weather and water can’...

Spotted sea trout are starting to push into the clearwater to St. Joseph Sound region. Mild temperatures have delayed their full migration as it has in years past. Typically multiple cold fronts that keep the water temperatures lower will usher in more of the larger female trout. However there are a few small schools beginning to congregate. […] T...

Fall is my favorite season for fishing. It could be that my birthday is in October but it also could be that the drop in water and air temperature starts the migration north and this means Cobia Triple-tail Kingfish Permit Flounder and many more delicious fish species. I like eating fish and the fish that […]

Yesterday’s charter was a tough one. We fished hard for 4 hours went through 6 dozen phat shrimp we caught many many small snapper ONE keeper well you know what they say?… I won’t say it. It’s gonna be a few weeks before I feel good about going out there. For me I’m gonna let […]

I love fishing with artificial lures but shore / wade fishing is the one time I’ll make an exception. When fishing from shore you are primarily sitting still and waiting for fish to come to you. Casting and reeling artificials like you’re in a bass tournament is just not the right thing for me. I’ve […]

Here we can discuss anything you’d like in regards to Saltwater Fishing in Sarasota Florida. I’ve been a Fishing Charter Guide in the area for 18+ years and although I don’t know everything I have some useful information and I also have a bunch of Fishing Guides Buddies who with their combined knowledge we can […]

Tampa Bay offers excellent angling for over 200 species of fish. Tampa Bay starts at the extreme north end above the Hwy 60 Causeway. It ends at the south where it goes under the Skyway Bridge. Pick a good day with a respectable incoming or outgoing tide and plan on catching fish. Many places are […] The post Tampa Bay Fishing Report June 2020 app...

The Spanish mackerel bite should be in full swing by now. Mackerel seem to be on the tongue of every angler these days and rightly so; these huge bait assassins usually are all over the bay dining on the many sardine and threadfin schools moving into the bay. So if you’re looking for some exciting […] The post Tampa Bay Fishing Report May 2020 app...

Snook-Redfish-Trout: For you folks that haven’t realized it yet we have four seasons in Florida – Almost Summer Summer Still Summer and Christmas. But thanks goodness it’s almost summertime and fishing is looking great for April. It’s always nice not having to throw the cast net unless you want to be a gluten for punishment.

Fishing around Tampa Bay recently is decent given the cold fronts show up at seemingly unpredictable intervals. One day its cold and overcast with a falling barometer and the fish will eat. Then two days later the front passes skies turn blue temperatures warm and the barometric gauge begins rising and the fish get lockjaw. […] The post The Beginn...

By Captain Woody Gore January means low tides low humidity pleasant days and decent fishing. Greenbacks begin getting scarce but shrimp always catches fish. However winter is still an excellent time to experiment with artificial lures. So as winter moves in try your hand tossing a few artificial lures around a Tampa Bay broken bottom […] The post...

By: Captain Woody Gore Snook: (Still Closed) There are greenbacks at the Skyway if you want to travel that far to net bait. If you’re looking for bait check the south skyway fishing pier. You usually don’t have to chum. Throw into the shadow line of the bridge to get your bait. Then there’s a […] The post Tampa Bay Area Let’s Go Fishing Report app...

Snook: If February was an indication our snook bite should be good in March. As the water temperatures begin rising snook should continue moving into their summertime patterns and start chasing a few sardines. Greenbacks should begin showing up and live bait anglers will be getting out that dreaded cast net. Look for Snook to […] The post March Fi...

Increased Fishing Pressure Equals Over Harvesting Assuming you’re a Cracker like me and have fished our wonderful state for most of your life I’m certain you noticed the numbers of anglers is on the increase. It’s been shown time and again that as one thing increases something else usually suffers. Well in this case it’s […] The post Increased Fis...

Snook: Still catch and release until 2020 fishing is one of those on then off again things in the cooler months and it also depends on the bait situation. They do seem to be making a recovery but there is still no reason to open a season on them until we have some decent fishable […] The post Tampa Bay Fishing Report February 2019 appeared first o...

With all the residential canals and inshore reefs bay anglers are truly are blessed when it comes to fishing in the winter months and it seems you never have to run far to find what you are looking for. Fish seem to acclimate themselves to the lower tides and feed all day with little or […] The post Tampa Bay Fishing Report January 2019 appeared f...
