Inshore Fishing Report Trout: This new moon is setting the table for epic dock light and bridge light action. Trout love predictable current and an easy meal, and the incoming tide is your best friend when it’s pulling shrimp and small bait into the light line. If you can find a light with moving water […]
Inshore Fishing Report This past week we finally had a decent weather window to fish around this past mid work week. During that short window, the hogfish cooperated well, and we also saw a nice push of sea bass, plus steady lane snapper. Expect lanes to improve most when you slide a bit deeper too. […]
Inshore Fishing Report Due to the strong front this weekend, Sheepshead should be the target right now because you don’t have to get out in the boat to target them. Any hard structure with oysters or barnacles – docks, bridges, jetties, and rock piles – will hold fish so you can effectively target them from […]

Even when conditions stay similar week to week, the way wildlife responds to tides, weather, and seasonal changes keeps every trip unique. Guests joining us along the beaches and islands of Tampa Bay, including Madeira Beach, […]
Inshore Fishing Report Inshore fishing around John’s Pass has been productive and very seasonal. Speckled trout are biting well, especially at night around bridge lights and dock lights where bait is pinned and current is moving. During the day, target edges, potholes, and transition zones on flats, mangrove shorelines, and oyster bars. Live shrimp, […]
Inshore Fishing Report Inshore action around John’s Pass, Madeira Beach, and the inside waters of Tampa Bay continues to produce a great variety, and the full moon tides will keep fish moving. Sheepshead should be one of the best targets right now, especially around bridge pilings, docks, rock piles, and the jetties. Any structure […]

Keep it simple: light leader, minimal weight, and small pieces of shrimp or fiddler crabs tight to the structure. Trout are still producing well, especially when you focus on edges, potholes, and points where they […]
