Winter fishing Tampa Bay
Winter fishing Tampa Bay
Jan 11, 2026 Tampa
Unlike the always warmer waters of Key West, Tampa Bay waters do get cold which can limit catching the big ones that migrate south for the winter. One had to be creative. Big snook, trout and redfish are scarce due to low, low tides leaving the shallows dry and desolate. I go the the artificial reefs and ship channel edges for big Gag groupers ranging up to 30 plus inches. They fight like hooking a freight train trying to stick to the bottom and cut the line in the rocks where they live. You have to mad dog mean and stronger than them to get them to the boat. And itโ€™s worth it! Warning if you canโ€™t lift 30 pounds this is not for you.

We were looking for snook but the bite was slow. I had to improvise. We needed fish to eat. So I decided to go after Spanish Mackerel. It was definitely the right move . My charter had a great time on the toothy screemers and some Speckled Trout mixed in.
