As we prepare for Hurricane Helene to pass by us in the Gulf of Mexico and make landfall in the Florida panhandle the fishing lately has been incredible around Anna Maria Island and Tampa Bay. We are technically In the fall season as of three days ago (September 22^nd). The fishing in Tampa Bay has been providing great action for guests aboard our fishing charters. The main attraction right now is the redfish which are in large schools right now and roaming the grass flats in search of food. Finding a hungry school of redfish can make for fast action and sore arms at the end of the day. We are also seeing a lot of nice sized spotted seatrout which is one third of Tampa Bay inshore slam (snook, redfish, seatrout) and are fantastic eating if you are looking to catch dinner. Snook season is also open right now. Finding e legal sized snook to harvest can be a little more of a challenge. The fish has to be between 28 and 33 inches. That is a large fish and they are smart once hooked making fast runs into structure testing anglers skills and tackle. There are still some tarpon lurking around the Skyway Bridge and the Spanish Mackerel are invading the bay the last few weeks ravaging bait schools around the bridges and artificial reefs.   

If you are looking to book a fishing charter or have general questions about our fishing charters, give me a call or text 813-220-8725. We are very family friendly and encourage kids to come out and enjoy a day of fishing and making lifelong memories.
