Fishing Report 1/02/09
Happy New Year! Haven’t been out fishing yet but this is the time to go get some big sheepshead around Fort Pickens. Reds should be stacked up in good numbers around the Garcon Point area as well as some nice trout and flounder.
Fishing Report 12/15/08
Inshore: Good redfish and trout fishing on the grass flats up in Tampa Bay right now. Also a fairly good flounder bite and one of the best sheepshead bites in recent years. Honey spot is Cockroach Bay in TB right now.
Fishing Report 11/19/08
After yesterday’s success it’s hard not to go out there again today. Good snook bite right now up in canals and river mouths. Also have seen some good reports for redfish and trout in the bay. Those venturing offshore are finding fish inside of 40-feet which tells me those grouper are moving in as the water cools.
Fishing Report 11/15/08
Inshore: Full moon and cold front causing some funky fishing. The bite turns on and then stops. One species unaffected is trout. The trout bite has been steady and big fish are being reported everywhere, of course, they are out of season.
Offshore: Gags are moving in close as the water temp drops. Kings and mackerel are still on fire.
Fishing Report 11/12/08
Inshore: Good reports of grouper starting to be picked up in the bay. Also some redfish and trout on the flats of Fort DeSoto. I have seen a few reports of flounder, pompano, and permit on the beaches which is good to hear.
Offshore: Heavy winds are keeping anglers close to the beach most of the time, but good reports of red and gag grouper in 35+ feet.
