florida tampa bay Fishing Report 2025

another day on tampa bay and it was cloudy but warm. fished from about 7 to noon, winds picked up but saw plenty of action! caught a few snook and a couple of oversized reds! used my go-to live bait, can’t go wrong with that. awesome day!

finally a nice day! cloudy but warm at 29°. took the kayak out around noon and caught about 10 different fish! all small but super fun, used a mix of lures. the water was a little choppy from the wind. so glad i went out!

another rainy day, we almost didn’t go out but the fish were biting! landed a few snapper and then the skies opened up, so we headed back. hooked a big one just before we left tho! always good times on the water, even in the rain.

today was iffy with those dark clouds! i went out just to see... had some patchy rain but caught 3 nice trout and a flounder! caught them all on topwater lures. can’t believe it worked! hope tomorrow's nicer tho.

fished for a few hours today, little drizzles here and there but nothing crazy. man, the tarpon were rollin! hooked into a big one but it got away. used my new baitcasting reel, still getting the hang of it. temp was warm tho, 27° felt nice!
