We are excited that you are visiting our Tampa Florida fishing web site.
Our company is here to provide unique fishing adventures while your visiting Tampa Bay Florida or the surrounding areas. The
west coast of Florida offers some of the best light tackle sportfishing opportunities for Redfish, Spotted Trout and Snook.
Our 201 Proguide Backcountry flats boat is made to fish the backwaters, beaches and saltwater flats of the Florida suncoast.
Tampa
Bay FL is a beautiful shallow water estuary with many nesting birds and animals. During your trip you may see Porpoise,
Manatee, Sharks, Eagle Rays, Osprey, Pelicans, Ibis, Great Blue Herons, Egrets and Roseate Spoonbills.
Below is a large 32 inch Redfish caught last March by my friend John
Hynes. We were fishing just north of Clearwater Beach near the mangrove islands. This was one of twenty-five Redfish
landed by John that spring day.
This winter Miss Autumn was fishing in the Tampa Bay area with her
family from out west. Her brother landed this 35lb. Black Drum after a thirty minute fight. It was the largest fish he had
ever caught. We were targeting Spotted Sea Trout when a large school of Black Drum were spotted nearby.

Beach, which is just west of Tampa Bay.
Tampa Bay Florida Fishing Reports
May 2010 was a great month for fishing in the Tampa Bay
area! Tarpon, Redfish, Spotted Trout, Spanish Mackerel and Grouper were biting
well through-out the month. Mackerel and Grouper were nice by-catches while fishing
for Tarpon around the bridges of the bay. A large Cobia was also caught this
month by my good friend, Art, while visiting from California.
Tarpon were feeding mostly on Threadfin Hearing and Pass Crabs, drifting with the current, near the bridge structure. The strong tides during the new moon phase had the best bite for Tarpon. When the current slacked up a bit, the Grouper came up to feed. Pulling
the Grouper off the bottom and out of their rocky holes was a bit of a challenge when using spinning gear. Therefore, give the fish a little slack line, within a few minutes the fish will swim out of the rocks
and the fight will resume. Sharks were also out in abundance on the shallow flats. If you would enjoy catching sharks and watching them take your bait near the boat,
reserve a fishing trip this summer.
July
18, 2010 Spotted Sea Trout remains a decent catch throughout June and July with
several large fish being landed. Miss Lydia,
visiting with her father, from Alabama caught a nice 25
inch fish using a Scaled Sardine for bait. Lydia also had a blast catching several Black-Tip sharks. While several sharks were swimming around the boat, she would just lower her sardine to the nearest one
and the fight would begin. Many Tarpon were seen on this fishing trip in a deep
cut near the Islands of Tampa Bay. We had a few bites but no solid Tarpon hook-ups
on this trip.
Shark
fishing should be excellent all summer long. Late afternoon trips ending around
9 or 10pm can be scheduled in order to avoid the heat of the day. Rock piles
along the beaches will hold Redfish, Black Drum and Flounder through-out August and September.
Come fish with us this spring for great Redfish action on the flats of
Tampa Bay and Clearwater Florida. Call today to make your reservations.

I grew
up in the Tampa Bay/Clearwater FL area and have fished the inshore waters of Tampa for over 40 years. My earliest
fishing memories were watching my father castnet for Mullet near Allen's Creek in western Tampa Bay back in the mid 60's.
As a teenager, I would wade fish around Weedon Island and Riviera Bay near St. Petersburg. Clearwater Beach and Sandkey
were popular fishing spots in the 70's and still are. I learned a great deal about fishing in the 80's when I was a
Tampa Fireman; there
were a few experienced and seasoned fishermen in the Tampa Fire Dept. that showed me how to fish western Tampa Bay. Shallow
water fishing the sandy beaches of Clearwater Florida and Tampa Bay for Redfish, Snook, Trout, Tarpon, Sharks and many more
species.
So, let me take you and your party on a fun and exciting fishing trip leaving out of Clearwater Beach Fl and the Tampa
Bay area. Visiting Orlando's Disney World in central Florida?
Why not take one day off for a saltwater fishing adventure.
Call now to reserve a day
on the shallow waters of Tampa Bay.
