Spring 2023
What a start we have had to our 2023 fishing season! We have been experiencing some phenomenal inshore fishing for snook, redfish, and trout. Tarpon, Cobia, Kingfish, Tripletail and the rest of our pelagic targets are about to be moving into our bay in full force. If you are looking for table fare our sheepshead fishing is about to be on fire as well. If the last few weeks are any indicator of how our upcoming spring season will unfold, its going to be a great one! Our brand new Sabalo 27 boat will be the perfect platform to fish the west coast of Florida Read More

If one or more of these species is on your bucket list its time to get hooked up!
Wintertime Fishing off the Flats – Fishing Guide Ruskin
As water temps drop, moving off the flats may be all you need to do to keep your rods bent all day.It’s no secret that the fish that roam Tampa Bay’s flats don’t like cold water. Lower water temps mean fish are more lethargic, eat less, and move less. Water temperatures on the clean shallow flats of Tampa Bay fluctuate a lot throughout the day.

Spring is in the air!
Our recent fishing charters on Tampa Bay have been fair to excellent over the last month and things are really about to heat up. We have been fishing from the Skyway Bridge and Fort DeSoto all the way up in the bay to the Gandy Bridge. The redfish and trout fishing have been good, but it’s the snook action that has really stolen the stage lately. We have caught many snook over 30 inches lately, and lost some even bigger ones to the bushes and docks.
Life for the Land Locked Angler
Shallow water redfish might be my passion, but largemouth bass fishing during the spawn and pre-spawn months has been a tradition for me since i was a kid. I loaded up the Hewes Redfisher with a different type of tackle this day. Topwater frogs, weedless worms, and texas rigs filled the tackle storage and off to a local lake we went.
Today we were focusing on bass starting to stage up in their pre-spawn homes. Read More
