Spring into summer by fishing in Tampa Bay!
Charter fishing in the last month in Tampa Bay is about as good as it gets as far as plenty of action plenty of great fish to catch and plenty of options for our local fish and we have migrating species invading our local waters. With the warming waters we get large schools of cigar minnows, hard tails, blue runners, and threadfin herring with that brings king fish, sharks, Spanish mackerel, Bonita, and even sailfish and blackfin tuna.

Our inshore fishing has been on fire our customers have found redfish and large speckled trout with plenty of snook in the last month, and we are seeing more and more tarpon showing up with every passing moon so it's time to grip that rod reel just a little bit tighter and be ready for those silver kings to come a calling. I don't really expect any real changes except for more tarpon and sharks in the weeks to come so tight lines until next time. -Captain Phil

The redfish bite along mangrove shorelines and oyster bars continues to be strong. The first push of tarpon are starting to show up along the beaches. Look for more fish to move into the area around each new/full moon.

Fishing has been great. No signs of red tide. Water temp has been warming up along with those spring/summer high tides that everybody wants. This is when those big reds and snook start seeking shade under the trees. We call it "combat fishing," a tug of war between you and the fish. Plenty of trout showing up on the grass flats along with good table fare just a few miles from shore

The redfish bite has been pretty solid along with the snook bite. I’m starting to see some really nice mangrove snapper show up at some local docks as well. Reef fishing has also been good of the wind isn’t blowing too bad. Snapper, grunts and sheephead have been chewing pretty good out there. The grouper have been chewing the floor out of the boat but unfortunately we can’t keep them right now.
