With Tampa Bay water temperatures dropping in the mid 60s the Sheepshead & Mullet action has been the go-to species as these fish congregate around oyster beds, Mangrove lines and any type of structure that produces food for them.

Sheepshead and Mullet are hot right now on our Tampa bay shallow flats. We still have a few huge rays hanging out but no for long as our water temps are dropping

Snook have been hiding in the mangroves with a few reds around also and are willing to take live and cut baits with well placed casts. The trout bite has been on fire with plenty around on the grass flats ranging from 15" to 22". Live baits and artificial sea shad paddle tails have been catching plenty. Mangrove snapper have been on the bridges, rock piles and sea wall.

Snook have been attacking live free lined scaled sardines thrown under the mangroves some reds have also been under the mangroves. Trout have been very solid action taking live and artificial baits. Great mackerel action has been over hard bottoms and artificial reefs. Live bait and spoons have been catching the mackerel and they have been running large.

    We had such a great time on our fishing charter with Dillon! My kids and I had an absolute blast. We caught tons of great fish and learned a few fishing tricks too. The whole experience was so much fun & Dillon made it a great time from start to finish. It was the perfect way to have fun family time, and we would definitely do it again. Highly recommend this charter!
