Tampa Bay Area

The weather has finally straightened itself out and fishing is heating up
and getting back to normal. Just as expected, as soon as bait fish showed
up along our beaches the Spanish mackerel and kingfish were right behind
them.

Fishing for both mackerels has been very productive the past two weeks and
the action will only increase. Trolling “hardware” including spoons and
plugs behind diving planers has been successful but live bait has generally
outperformed the artificial offerings providing non-stop bites.

Other species crashing the Kingfish and and Spanish party have included
cobia and barracuda along with one lone flounder that found a bait that
made it to the bottom. Having a variety of rigs combined with an
assortment of baits will lead to mixed bag catches right now.
