Go Deeper for Bigger Fish Offshore
Deeper offshore waters continue to produce the best numbers of bigger fish. Our 12 hour extreme hit some depths of 220+ this past week and brought in some of the biggest gag grouper and red snapper we have seen so far this season with a few monster scamp grouper mixed in.

Seeing Red Nearshore
We had our first nearshore party boat trip since the start of red snapper season this past week since a corporate client booked the boat for a 10 hour all day and we hit around 80-110ft of water and fishing was hot.

Great Action in Deeper Nearshore Waters
We are seeing great action this week on the 10 hour all day in the deeper near shore waters, but on the half day and closer to shore near shore waters the fishing was much tougher this past week especially as the week drew to a close due to super clear waters and the full moon.

Hot Offshore Bite!
Right now offshore the bite is very hot, especially at night. Our mid-week super light 39 hour trip came back in this morning with one of the best mangrove snapper piles we have seen in a long time they had plenty of great eating and decent sized mangrove snapper on the boat.

Inshore Fishing Doug Bryan, a St Petersburg local, and his buddies fish the Johns Pass Jetty and Johns Pass…
John’s Pass Offshore Report
The scamp grouper and red grouper bite was insane mid-week this past week ahead of the big cold front that came through today. They were really excited as that big front approached and the start of the full moon probably helped to make them more aggressive as well. We limited out on red grouper on the HUB twelve hour private charter this past Wednesday with a few tuna, scamp and some nice mangrove snapper mixed in.
Hogfish Active at 40-50 ft
The hogfish bite has been pretty good this week, we are still seeing them around 30-70 foot of water but lately around 40-50ft has been the best depths.

John’s Pass Inshore Report
This past week we have seen something unique that I have never heard of or seen before. We had a young angler named Daniel Peterson, from Wisconsin, fishing with cut clam pieces for sheepshead on our dock catching large black mullet one after another for a solid thirty minutes or so. Normally you cannot catch mullet on hook and line unless you fool them with a small gold pinfish sized hook and a ball of bread so seeing him catch mullet on a 2ot hook with clams for bait was wild! We have also seen lots of the sheepshead being caught as well, before the mullet started feeding he was catching some nice sheeps with the occasional spadefish mixed in on the cut clams for bait.
Mackerel Mania Nearshore
Kingfish and mackerel still super prolific from the beaches all the way throughout the near shore and offshore waters.
Tampa Offshore Report
The deep water closure of grouper is now over and we have been doing VERY well on scamp grouper, red grouper and even some big trigger fish out there past 140-150ft of water all the way out to around 200ft of water. The scamp grouper bite best past around 140ft of water and we like small live pinfish for them in the 4-5inch range or the 4-6oz hammered silver diamond jigs bounced just around the bottom nearly touching bottom or squid strips seem to work well too.
