Tampa Bay Times Fishing Report

went out on may 22, patchy rain but i still managed to catch a nice 30 inch red. it was a bit slow at first but then they came alive! used a spoon and worked the mangroves. can’t believe the weather didn’t stop the fish from biting!

may 18 was another overcast day, caught some more grouper and a few flounder! the water was calm, had a good time! used a bottom rig and shrimp, did the trick! feels good to hook some quality fish with friends.

on may 15 we finally had an overcast day, got out early and the fish were biting! snagged a few snapper and a nice grouper. tried using jigs and they were on fire! conditions were chill and the bites kept coming. good times!

may 9 was a wet one but we braved the moderate rain. caught a few trout off the flats, nothing over 24 inches tho. used a popper, got some nice hits. gotta love fishing even when the weather ain't perfect! my friends were freezing out there lol

man oh man, may 4 was a drencher! got caught in a heavy rain shower but stayed out. landed a decent tarpon, around 40 lbs! my rain gear saved me. used a live pinfish, worth every drop! my buddies thought I was crazy but it was epic!
