REDS ON FIRE

The redfish bite in Tampa Bay rages on and sight-fishing has never been better.
If you've always wanted to stalk reds on the flats and fool them into taking a lure or fly, now is the time. Schools of up to 400 fish, many of which are oversized jumbos, are on the prowl, but who knows for how long. All my regular clients are jumping on the opportunity, but the fishing is so good, if I don't book a trip or get a cancelation, I am on these fish myself for the pure fun of it. Call 813-917-4989 or e-mail me and come along. It is Florida flats fishing at it's best.

Dec. 19 - The Tampa flyfishing for schooling reds is on big time. If you every wanted to get in on sight fishing big reds, now is the time. Get in touch with us now to book your trip, before this action is over. Email here

Tarpon time

Tampa Bay Fishing - The bay and gulf are hot and there are plenty of big poons. This week we helped the FMRI Tarpon Research boat with its tagging operations, letting them tag a fish with a radio transmitter. We've always worked to assist researchers and most every season are involved in tagging and research projects on tarpon. Email us to book your trip.

Redfish action is on right now in Tampa Bay
Jan. 1 - What a way to start the new year. Yesterday's redfish trip was a slam dunk with jumbo oversized fish and crystal clear water for sight fishing. Here is a pic and a video clip of a release. It's redfish action at its best right now, as fish get happier with dropping water temperatures and begin to back up in schools. Live bait fishing them into a frenzy or careful stalking and sight casting with spin or fly, you can't have much more fun than targeting west coast Florida reds.
