Tampa Bay Fishing Report 4-2011

Looks like we are in for another great weekend of springtime fishing in Tampa Bay. Anglers aboard the Ms. Guided did extremely well this week despite heavy rains on Tuesday and high Easterly winds on Wednesday. White bait had temporarily moved off the flats with the Redfish and Snook retreating into deeper waters. We targeted both species along deeper docks and residential canals along Tampa’s eastern shoreline with free-lined shrimp on a 1/0 circle hook and 1/8 oz Mission Fishin Jigs with success. Up until this week, we have also been catching a large number of quality Sheepshead, but for the first time in several months Mangrove Snapper began to chew. Yet another sign Spring has sprung.  High winds kept us from running the beaches for King Mackerel and drifting the flats for Trout to finish off the Inshore Slam, but the fish are there… Light winds, sunny skies, and clearer water this weekend means game on for Smoker Kings and with a bit of luck, sight casting at Cobia. Whatever your plans are for the weekend, be safe and enjoy. To learn more about fishing in Tampa Florida or to schedule your next saltwater adventure, give me a call at 1-877-463-5420.
