TAMPA BAY TARPON FISHING

Great day of fishing with my clients Brian and family from Missouri. Beautiful day to be out on the water and a fantastic tarpon bite we had. Ended up 1-3, but that’s all we needed as we had to battle all of them at the same time. So much fun watching these guys scramble for fish. Good times. Book your trips. Fishing is still hot.

Tampa Bay Snook Fury

Very hot today on the water. In the middle of our adventure for the linesider, it started to downpour. Let’s just say we got soaked. Didn’t stop the bite though. Ended up catching a bunch of snook and trout. Biggest today was 28 inches. Weather is beautiful and fish are chewing. Book your trips.
