Fishing Reports from Clearwater and the Tampa Bay area. We cover Deep Sea Fishing as well as the Nearshore waters.
Summer time in Clearwater is the right time to target the silver king. These fish are typically between 75-120 pounds and are on their yearly migration north to spawn and find more comfortable water temperatures.
