Trout was the hot action for spring. Pretty much every flat they can be found. Fish the shallow pot holes early then push out a little deeper as it gets later in the day. Moving water is the ticket either incoming or outgoing tide. Good to see trout in our area coming back after Piney Point disaster lots of small fish but there's some bigger over 20" fish mixed in. Spanish mackerel and king mackerel have started showing up good numbers nearshore in the gulf. They make for exciting action with their long fast runs pulling drag. I like to anchor up and chum for them with live bait but trolling planers and spoons works good as well. Just have to pick your days right now with the wind. Lots of action right now I will be switching to snook fishing starting May and maybe a few tarpon as well.

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 .

What's Biting in Tierra Verde

Recent Tierra Verde Reviews

    First and foremost, DJ is a great guy! We booked a 6 hour trip with him to hopefully have a chance at snook and redfish. Leading up to the trip, DJ communicated very well about where to meet and was flexible with the time to meet so we had the best chance at fish. On the water he worked hard to get us on fish and was very knowledgeable and personable. The bite was a bit tough due to the recent cold snap that hit Florida, however, he still put us on the fish and gave us solid opportunities at landing trophy snook and reds. We had a blast fishing with him, very much would recommend him for your fishing adventures in the St Petersburg/Tampa area!
