Tampa bay waters are warming up and already we're seeing a good number of Sheepshead, Blackdrum, Southern Ray's showing up on the Saltwatwr flats. On the Freshwater side the Spotted Gar are still showing themselves with a mixed batch of Tilapia and other mix. Look for for the shallow banks with the most sun exposure when transitioning into your night bowfishing action also look for down trees branches or any type of structure that fish can hide that's where you are find your Ambush predators

Water temps have been in the 50' so the fish are stacked up at the freshwater springs that are put there . They are in deeper water so my 8hr and 11hr are best for trips to the springs . Hogfish , and other reef fish are still biting closer to shore . On my last 11 hr to a spring we caught a limit of huge yellowtail and mangrove snapper , some huge porgys then played w Amberjack had them hitting poppers on the surface , caught like 6 big gag grouper, way too many huge Red Snapper. That spring is 65 miles . It was a super nice day so we could cruise at 35mph .
We were limited out early so we ranback in about 40 milestones the hogfish and caught about 25 or 30 hogs . Had 7 keepers .
