Mackerel & snapper have been productive. Getting out early has been the ticket for catching snook and redfish, once the sun gets high those fish hide way back in the mangroves and it’s tough to get them to feed. So getting out early and off the water by 11am has been working well for me.

September is the last month of summer here in the Tampa bay area. Water temperatures in the bay will slowly begin to drop and this will get the fish to start thinking about where they will live for the upcoming winter (as if we really have a winter, LOL).

Take a kid fishing! With summer time in full swing the kids are having a blast fishing! When I first started guiding I really didn’t know how to handle having young children on the boat.

Had some time to go and scout some “spring” spots. Fish are starting to migrate, we caught tons of snook and doubled up on a few bruiser jacks

With the water temperatures staying around 60° the fish seem to finally be in their winter patterns. Speckled trout and sheepshead will be the most consistent fish to catch this month. February is also a great time to target redfish in the back country. Live shrimp will do the trick for all of them.

The water temperature is where it needs to be which has brought the “winter” speckled trout bite to be very consistent 50-60 fish days are not uncommon. Redfish, sheepshead and cobia … Continue reading “Tampa Bay Fall Fishing 2020”
