Fishing Reports from Clearwater and the Tampa Bay area. We cover Deep Sea Fishing as well as the Nearshore waters.
This week we ran several 3 hour nearshore Clearwater fishing charters specifically geared towards young anglers. No experience is required for the kids as we will help along the way. The great thing about these trips is the calm water, short ride time, large variety of fish to target and lots of light tackle action,…
With cold front after cold front blasting it’s way through the Clearwater Florida area, the water temperature has plummeted. The Kingfish have migrated south of us now to find warmer water and bait schools. The good news is that the Gag Grouper and Hogfish bite has been phenomenal! Both of these species love colder water…
The Gag Grouper bite has been excellent this week. Our deep sea fishing charters running out of Clearwater have been experiencing better than average fishing for our 8 hour trips. Big live bait and plenty of dead sardines for chum has been the key to putting the bigger grouper in the boat. The average size…
Fall is always a good time for catching in the Clearwater Beach and Central west Florida area. Cooling water temperatures and migrating bait schools are the main reason for productive fishing.

There is also an abundance of Kingfish migrating through the offshore waters of Clearwater Beach. While the kings aren’t as…
Had a great week of fishing with plenty of Hogfish, grouper and a very good Mangrove snapper bite! Downsizing in tackle was the key for our charters to load up on these tase fish. Of course t’is a fine line between going too light and breaking off fish or going too heavy and not getting…
It’s that time of year when cooler weather means Kingfish migrate through the Clearwater nearshore and offshore waters. Fishing for King’s is a blast, on our fishing charters we use live bait and light tackle to make it fun for all ages. While most of these fish caught are between 15-20 pounds, the occasional “smoker”…
It’s that time of year in Clearwater Florida! Just when I think there’s no end in sight to this heat, the mornings feel a little cooler and the water temperatures start to drop. This signals the start of Kingfish season for us, as well as the transition into better fishing closer to shore. This week…
