Those dog days of summer are upon us. With water temperatures in the upper 80's & the freshwater from summer storms pouring in to our rivers, the fishing can be a little challenging. {%image_id=16707%} Early morning and evening tidal flow has proved to be the ticket, when it comes to a successful day of fishing. Look for deeper water adjacent to rocks,oyster bars and creek mouths. Fish areas slowly and thoroughly. {%image_id=16706%} We had a good half day of fishing the docks and stucture around Old Port Tampa. Although, we were unable to get the Jew Fish to chew, we did have sucess landing mangrove snapper, snook, red fish, and trout! {%image_id=16708%} All fish were caught on frozen shrimp an a 1/8oz. jig.The only exception was the snapper preferred small live white bait on a 1/0 EUPRO j- hook with 20lb EUPRO fluorocarbon leader. {%image_id=15889%} The Port with its deep channels, commerical shipping docks, and scattered patches of mangroves can be a great place to fish. So, get out there or give me a holler and I'll show you how! Till next time have a safe & quality day on the water! Capt.
