February Fishing Report
The weather has been beautiful this week and the fishing has been on fire! Yesterdays trip offshore was very productive. Mangrove snapper, red grouper and black grouper were the targeted species. Charters have been coming home with plenty of snapper and grouper for the table. We have been fishing hard bottom and ledges in 75-90 ft of water with frozen sardines and pinfish.
The bay fishing has continued to be great as well. Whitebait is beginning to show up on the beaches and in Tampa Bay. If the weather continues to stay warm like it is, we will defiantly be back to fishing with live shinners in the next few days. Sheepshead, black drum, bluefish, trout, redfish and pompano have been feeding the best. The snook, trout and redfish are begiining to come out of the rivers and canals and making there way to the flats. Its just going to be a matter of waiting for the water temp. to rise a little bit more and for bait to become catchable and snook and red fishing should break loose. Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope the "MAJOR" coldfronts are done with and fishing conditions stay fishable!
