The water temp has dropped a good bit, moving fish into their winter homes. Sheepshead, redfsih, black drum, sharks, cobia, snook, trout, and jacks are the main species. Depending on the temperature we’ll be using live shrimp or live greenbacks. As long as it doesnt get too cold the fishing is great this time of year.

The bay’s water temperature has dropped significantly in the past two weeks, creating mass migrations of fish. They are feeding heavily before the Florida “winter,” when certain species hunker down like bears in the winter. So the time is now! Spanish Mackerel, redfish, snook, snapper, jacks, cobia, trout, and sharks are mainly what’s biting. Using live sardines has been the method. Fall is arguably the best time of year to fish Tampa Bay. Come get em’!

The north winds are here and masses of fish are migrating and eating. Based off recent outings, the state of the bay is strong. The fish that are here now should stay until next spring. Meaning quality redfish snook trout cobia triple-tail sheepshead black drum and sharks. Fish to eat or for sport, fish are guaranteed.

Capt. Max is back after summer vacation! The north winds are here and the fall season is underway. Schools of tired fish are needing to eat after long journies. Baitfish are plentiful as well as sea turtles, dolphins and signs of a healthy ecosystem. Redfish and Snook are most prevalent, snapper are still around and cobia and triple tail. Tarpon are showing early in the morning and at sundown. Mackerel, bluefish, trout, and sharks are around the flats and bars. All inshore species are readily available. If you have a bucket list fish, now is the time. Get em’ before it gets too cold!

Tampa bay lucked out big time dodging the eye of hurricane Ian and God bless those severely affected. It seems as if fish took refuge from down south into tampa bay. Post-storm we have been seeing larger numbers in schools of fish. As well as catching some irregular, more tropical species. Right now just about every species is available, take advantage of it before the water gets too cold!

Summer is finally here-probably my favorite. And im not one for favorites. Just about every inshore species is available. Snook, snapper, trout, mackerel, redfish, tarpon, cobia, tripletail, sharks, jacks, you name it. The bay is full of bait and the fish are right behind them. Get em before it gets too hot!
