Springtime has turned to summer and the fish bite has remained red hot. We have so many opportunities in our local waters right now just jumped in overgrown tarpon fishing for trout today. This year's spring Snook season was the best I've seen. In a good long time with the number of fish in the slot.
Not that we were keeping them but people here on spring break were getting fish over 30 inches more days than not.
With the water temp being close to 90 remember to slow down your presentations clipped baits and cut baits are working excellent...

for red fish and tarpon
We just got our second hatch of greenbacks they're still a little bit on the small side, but the mangrove snapper are really getting fired up on them
This will continue for the next few months as the moons are approaching. Excellent time to get out there and get some tasty snapper.
The first photo is of two purpleheart recipients true American heroes I was fortunate enough to get to fish with through the wounded warriors foundation with Jeremy's 33 inch Snook

We've got another month here in Tampa Bay before we head to key west for about six weeks. Let's get your Captains Experience is booked here or join me in key west for some mahi, wahoo, tuna, and lobster just to name a few.

Tight lines for now see on the water enjoying your next Captain's experience

The grouper bite continues to stay strong and shows no signs of slowing down. Nearshore fishing has been extremely consistent, with anglers putting quality red grouper and gag grouper in the boat on nearly every trip.
Mangrove snapper have been chewing well, along with plenty of gray snapper and grunts mixed in. The action has been steady across a variety of depths, keeping rods bent throughout the day.
Inshore, we're seeing excellent trout fishing along with solid numbers of snook, redfish, and sheepshead. The variety right now is hard to beat, making every trip an opportunity for a true Florida...

slam.
The tarpon bite has also been outstanding. While getting photos and videos of these powerful fish isn't always easy, the action has been undeniable, with multiple hookups and some incredible battles.
Fish are responding to just about everything right now. We've been having success on jigs, live bait, cut bait, crabs, greenbacks, and more. Whether you prefer artificial lures or natural bait, the fish are feeding aggressively and giving anglers plenty of opportunities.
If you've been waiting for the right time to get on the water, now is it. From offshore grouper to inshore snook and tarpon, the fishing across the Tampa Bay area is as productive as we've seen all season.

Been out everyday. Now is the time for huge snook. Sharks, Goliath grouper and tarpon are easy to catch right now. The bite will stay that way for a while.

    Alex is a consummate professional; demonstrates the uncommon ability to banter with and keep kids on the fish while being relatable to adults. If you want your crew to experience a great time and remain comfortable, this is your guy.
