Sticks of Fire: a Tampa blog

If you can get through the smoke, you can find the fish.

Early morning and afternoon fishing are going to be your best bets this weekend. Tarpon are still a great target for some real excitement. In the coming days we should see an increase in the Tarpon activity under the Gandy Bridges. Kings and some Cobia are still on structure offshore in about 25-30ft of water. The bite on the shore near Dunedin will be good late afternoon under both causeway bridges. Also Mangrove Snapper near the skyway and in the ships channel have picked up.

Flounder and Trout seem to be the best bet. Snook have been very active in the strong outgoing currents on almost all beach passes but remember they are out of season so release them if caught. Trout will likely be the primary table fish this weekend, with most taking live shrimp and DOA or Gulp baits.
