Red snapper fishing in Clearwater Beach can be excellent during the summer months, particularly in depths of 100-150 feet.

Red grouper fishing can also be productive in the same depths as red snapper. Anglers are allowed to keep 2 red grouper per person per day with a minimum size limit of 20 inches.
When targeting red snapper and red grouper, it's important to use heavy tackle and live or cut bait. Squid and sardines are popular bait choices, but other options like pinfish, grunts, and cigar minnows can also be effective. Bottom fishing techniques like drifting and anchoring can both be effective, depending on the conditions.
Overall, Clearwater Beach offers excellent offshore fishing opportunities for red snapper and red grouper during the summer months. It's always a good idea to check local regulations and weather conditions before heading out and to consider hiring a local guide or charter to help you find the best spots and techniques. We recommend at least an 8 hour charter for red groupers and 10-12 hour charters are best for both grouper and red snapper.

Small Pinfish and Pigfish is producing the better fish. For edfish they are on the flats and spoil ilands with a abundant of mullet. Cut Lady Fish or threadfins have been working well but live punfish and grass grunts can make a difference
You don't want to kill the bait,
it just needs to flutter on the bottom with the tail trimed off . With so many species around nearshore and inshore you can have a shot at catching
some big fish to test your skills. Don't forget the shark fishing with many different species and size from 10lb up to hundreds of pounds.
Now is the time to start booking your summer trips for Tarpon, Redfish, Snook, Sharks and more.
Thanks,
Capt. Craig
