Fishing has been fantastic this month and a lot of fun with lots of fish being caught running a fishing charter from st. Pete, FL. The primary suspects have been mostly snook with redfish making a comeback in large numbers. This time of year bait is plentiful and fish are seeking to find that tasty little morsel called the scaled sardine or also known as whitebait. You can locate them on structure or on the flats by using fish food and jack mackerel. If you’re the artificial type you can through topwater plugs in the morning and switch to swim baits or spoons in the afternoon to resemble the scaled sardine. The water temp is climbing and the tarpon migration is on the rise. This time of year of it is not uncommon to run a fishing charter in st. Pete, Fl to Sarasota as the migration follows the coast.

As we approach Fall time, the weather is starting to break from its hot streak and cooler mornings are starting to happen! Fall time is one of my favorite times of the year to fish because the fish start to move around more frequently instead of being lethargic and just sitting around in hot water being lazy, It is not uncommon to locate pods of redfish on the prowl destroying any baits that are in their way or big snook blasting baits in creeks. So come out and enjoy an awesome day on Tampa Bay with us!
As the days are cooling down and the fronts become more consistent, fish can feel the weather change and are on the move! This is the time of year to bust out the artificials or fly and go on a hunting expedition, stalking the flats for your trophy. It is also a great time of year to still throw live bait if you can still find either in the skinny water mud or deeper water structure. Which either tactic you prefer this can be an awesome time fishing Tampa Bay as the water clears up and negative tides start coming, you can see what is actually out there with the right patience.
Its February 2023 and the Weather is warming up and the snook and redfish are starting to come out of Tampa Bays creeks, canals, and river. As they head out of their winter time haunts you find them bundled up on the Flats with nice grass and sand holes pitching pilchards or cut ladyfish .
