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

It's winter time and shrimp fishing has been very productive for sheepshead, black drum, and redfish! But even with the water being freezing, sheepshead keep the action rolling! It gives all of the other species, like trout and snook, a break till it warms up!

Bowfishing action is slow but still rewarding during the cold weather months in Tampa. My customers are rewarded with some nice fish like big Sheepshead, Mullet and Gar

With the arrival of these colder weather and water temperatures dropping into our mid-60s. Sheepshead and mullet are our go to fish this time of year on the Shallow Flats around oyster beds and Mangrove lines, sand pockets. Also look for rock piles or structure in clean clear deeper water where these Sheepshead are hanging out with Mangrove Snapper. Bridge piling are also holding the big boys.
