There is so many different species that feed on the near endless amounts of baitfish on the grass flats and lining the beaches. The fish know that the cooler weather is approaching and that means time to feed heaviy before the bait becomes scarce. Huge schools of ladyfish, jack crevelle, and spanish mackeral forage around the bay giving away their location by crashing baitfish on the surface. The snook have started to make their way from the beaches back to the bays and the Manatee River. They will feed heavily to prepare for winter. Redfish have started to school on the flats and are becoming more prevelent along with the jack crevelle in some areas. The mangrove snapper bite has been amazing the past couple weeks with large fish 15-20 inches regularly caught on our fishing charters. Gag grouper have shown and once the water starts somewhat of a cooling trend the fishing for them inside Tampa bay will get really good.
