Tampa Fishing Charter Report 1-29-2009
It's been a great week here in the Tampa Bay area. Most of our fishing charters have run out of Tarpon Springs mainly due to the unbelievable trout fishing and the really good redfishing that's been going on up here. The Superbowl is this coming weekend and that has brought a lot of visitors to the area and that in turn has created a full week of fishing charters.
This week Trout again were the focus (as is usual this time of year) but redfish have been the "kicker" fish. We've been trying to hit the trout spots during the incoming tide and the results have been great. They won't eat very well on the leaving tide but when the tide starts ripping in, it's game on. We had one unusual day this week where for what ever reason the trout wouldn't eat artificial lures very well so we went back to using shrimp fished under a Cajun Thunder bobber. They really seemed to be keying in on that combo. Trout in the 28-25" range were frequent participants in the good bite. In fact, the size of this fish has been consistently large. We didn't catch one fish that was too small to keep all week. That was great.
The redfish have been eating cut mullet pretty well. We've been getting into them at the barrier islands on low tides and hitting them up on the mainland when the tide comes up. We've been waiting to target them until after hitting the morning trout bite and this has rewarded everybody pretty well.
We've got a cold front upon us (passed through today) and the wind and temps will keep us off the water until at least Tuesday. But warmer weather is forecasted for the rest of next week so look for more of the same reports next week. Trout and redfish. What could be better? Oh yea.... snook! That's just around the corner!
