Redfish, sea trout, and some snook fishing was excellent this week on the incoming tides on the flats of Tampa Bay. Took William Claytor for 2 days he caught over 20 red fish along with snook and trout. Target the schools of mullet and bait and you will find the trout in the early morning. Red fish can be found on the flats in about 2-3 feet of water on little sandy spots with grass around them on the rising tides. Top waters early in the morning for the trout, gold spoons and live shrimp for the red fish, and jerk baits near the mangroves for the snook.

Redfish, sea trout, bluefish, and jack are tearing it up this week on the outgoing tides on the flats of Tampa Bay. Schools of mullet can be found and that is the ticket of catching them for the most part. Red fish can be found on the flats in about 3 feet of water. Top waters early in the morning, gold spoons, and Berkley gulp shrimp in new penny and molting colors are working well.
