As the summer rains are here and waters cooling a bit fishing is awesome. We in Tampa Bay are fortunate to have dodged the red tide. Snook season is now open and in full swing. Please remember that our fisheries to the south took a devastating blow to our snook population so please release if possible. Take note season is closed from Anna Maria south. Redfish bite is on alot of big bulls being caught. What's for dinner?? Big fat Mangrove Snapper that's what. Easily catching limits daily. Cobia have been spotted and caught following Ray's across the flats. So as always if your to busy to fish time to take a break.

With the passing of Alberto a lot of fresh water is being dumped into the bay from the main rivers. Still having great days catching redfish and snook. Trout bite has been stellar with the warming waters in around 5ft of water. Go to has been DOA paddle tails and 1/8 or 1/4 oz jig heads. Also the mirror lure is blue and silver terror eyes has performed well. Have switched up on live bait and using largest shrimp treeline or small split deep in mangroves for them crushing redfish hits. Always remember a struggling day on the water is better than a smooth day at work so let's go fishing. Finally WHEN IN DOUBT FISH IT OUT!
