Tampa Nearshore Fishing Report

Kingfish are back in town for spring break and it’s making our half day and all day party boat fishing even more exciting for passengers and crew alike. We are seeing nice 10-30lb kingfish smoking the flat lines and smashing our trolling plugs and spoons on the way out and back offshore.

Tampa Offshore Report

The 39 hour fishing really improved this week for us at Hubbard’s Marina, we had quite the epic trip this past Tuesday with Capt Joe Drew! They only had 21 fisherman on the boat and they all nearly limited out on mangrove snapper, vermillion snapper and they had plenty of porgies and yellowtail snapper too.

John’s Pass Inshore Report

Mackerel are showing up early this year and we have TONS of white bait around the pass. The snook are in the passes and on the beaches too. This past week some big snook were caught from the north Jetty of Johns Pass by Mahlon Washington and his buddies using swim baits and flair hawks on the outgoing tide just before sunset.
