Inshore fishing has been great to say the least. Lots of male snook to mess around with some hogs mixed in. Once the water warms up we have been hitting the open bay for some snapper action to fill the plates.

Fishing Reports Salty Gillz Fishing Charters Tampa Bay Fishing report April 2017: Fishing has been fantastic this month and a lot of fun with lots of fish being caught. 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 white bait. You can locate them on structure or on the flats by using fish food and jack mackerel. If your the artificial type you can through top water 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. Looking forward to an awesome season.

As the water cools fish are going to be transitioning into their winter homes. You can targert a nice variety of species this time a year including some trophy snook / trout. The water temp is right and so is this weather .
