The redfish bite in Tampa Bay right now is absolutely on fire—arguably the best it’s been in the last three years. Anglers are reporting strong numbers of slot-sized reds, and even some overslot bruisers showing up around the mangroves, oyster bars, and grass flats. The water temps have warmed just enough to get them feeding aggressively, especially on moving tides. What’s really exciting is the consistency. It’s not just a few hot spots—it’s bay-wide. From the flats near Weedon Island to the mangroves of Cockroach Bay and the spoil islands around Fort De Soto, redfish are cruising in solid schools again. Live bait like pinfish and greenbacks are working well, but artificials like gold spoons, paddletails, and topwaters early morning are getting crushed too. This kind of action hasn’t been seen since before some of the red tide issues, so local anglers are pumped. It’s a good sign for the health of the fishery and definitely a moment worth taking advantage of if you’re fishing Tampa Bay right now.

Recent trips have produced some quality snook and trout, and some Spanish mackerel are showing up also. We have been using artificial lures and live bait and doing very well. There are also some big redfish and huge snook cruising around the mangroves right now.
