I spoke with Pat at Dunedin Fishing Center in Dunedin today. He was telling me that fishing is great if you go out between 6pm and 9am. Redfish are being caught on shrimp and cut bait, mullet or ladyfish, near the north end of Caladesi Island. Speckled trout are in deeper water from St. Joseph Sound to Clearwater. Live shrimp, D.O.A. Shrimp or Berkley Saltwater Shrimp, in New Penny or Root Beer & Gold, will catch quite a few trout. Good number of pompano have moved into Hurricane Pass. Sand flees, shrimp, and pompano jigs fished from the pet beach on Honeymoon Island will catch lots of pompano. The pet beach, the north end of Honeymoon Island, and along the beaches of Honeymoon Island and Caladesi Island are also great places to catch big snook. The biggest pinfish you can find will be the best bait. Please remember that snook season is closed so bend down the barbs on your hooks, land the fish as quickly as is possible to prevent it form getting over stressed, and spend less time handling the fish and more time reviving it before release. A few tarpon are off the beach. Look to see what direction the fish are moving, then swing well outside of them and past them before putting out a spread of crabs and sardines on the bottom and under floats.
