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...

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.

June Fishing Report
The beginning of June fishing has been off to a great start. Larger gag grouper and red grouper have moved closer to the barrier keys and into shallower water to take advantage of the annual arrival of pilchard bait schools. This seasonal migration occurs every late spring and typically continues until water temperatures rise later in the summer.
Anglers looking to target these hard-fighting fish have their best opportunity by fishing productive hard-bottom areas with fresh-cut pilchards and large shrimp rigged on a knocker rig. Several quality fish have been landed over the past week, including grouper...

Anglers looking to target these hard-fighting fish have their best opportunity by fishing productive hard-bottom areas with fresh-cut pilchards and large shrimp rigged on a knocker rig. Several quality fish have been landed over the past week, including grouper in the 8-pound range, while a few even larger fish have managed to break anglers off before reaching the boat. The average size has been around 5 pounds. Remember that gag grouper remain catch-and-release only until the season reopens in September.
Large mangrove snapper have also moved onto the shallower reefs and have been feeding well during periods of slack tide. Success often comes down to using plenty of fresh chum and downsizing tackle until bites begin. Mangrove snapper possess excellent eyesight and do much of their feeding during low-light conditions and at night, making them one of the more challenging species to fool consistently.
Despite the challenge, they are a rewarding catch for both anglers and spearfishing divers. The average mangrove snapper has been around 3 pounds, with an exceptionally large 7-pound fish landed this past Saturday. If current conditions continue, the nearshore reef bite should remain productive throughout the monrg

The weather this last week has kept us confined to the bay, but large numbers of reds and black drum still roam around inshore. All the fresh water has pushed the flounder out a little but that is starting to ease up some. On the days we have been able to get out front to the oyster reefs and cleaner water, the big trout (18"+) are feasting!!!
