Guide To Catching Fish In Tampa Bay FL During The Winter

By -


Provided By: Hubbards Marina


Fishing in the Tampa Bay FL area is great all year round, including the winter months. There are many species of fish you can catch easier because the smaller fish have migrated out of the area. This means you can expect to catch more monster fish and less nuisance fish.



Some of the common fish you will catch are Redfish, Speckled Sea Trout, Sheephead, Black Drum, Flounder, Grouper, and Snook. What is so great about fishing during this time of year is that you don’t have to do anything complicated to catch fish. Something as simple as live shrimp or a jig will get the job done.

Another great thing about winter fishing is that you don’t need to go out far to catch most of these fish. In fact, many of them can be caught around docks and bridges. This includes Sheepshead and Black Drum, among other species. To catch Flounder, Redfish, Trout, and Pompano try going out to a pass or flat and troll the bottom. This will ensure that you maximize your chance of catching something massive.

Fishing report   Inshore-    We are finally starting to see a cooling trend along our  back bay  and inshore waters. This will have the fish on the move a bit, especially following this weather filled weekend. There’s still plenty of bait moving around the area and that makes the local predatory fish extra excited. Between the cooling temps and plentiful bait, we have seen some good inshore action this past week. We have seen great redfish and snook action around the bays and in the passes yet again this week. Spanish mackerel and the occasional kingfish around the mouth of Tampa bay and along the beach’s piers. Few Cobia are starting to show up around those mackerel and kingfish too, more cobia will be moving inshore along with more kingfish as the waters cool a bit more.  Jack  Crevalle  have been active and plentiful around the area too, these big schools of aggressive fish are easily found busting on bait schools around the bays, passes and even along the beache

  Inshore –             Snook fishing has been going well through the area and they are choked up in John’s pass. There’s plentiful fish, but they are being finicky and leader shy for the most part unless you hit those solunar major or minors. The start of the outbound has been a great time around the pass as of late and end of the incoming has been decent too. We are seeing a lot of active fish just before and around sunrise and sunset too.           Redfish action has been a little slow around the pass, but a few have been caught back in the bay around the mangroves and flats. Mostly the dead threadfins or cut pinfish around those mangrove shorelines have been working best. Also, around the dock lights at night especially near the bottom you can get lucky on the redfish.           Trout action has been going well around bridge and dock lights. We are seeing a few around the deeper parts of the flats inside the pass too. A few around the jetties and on the beaches have been caug

  Fishing report Inshore- Pompano have really shown up in force this past week! We are seeing pompano along the beaches and around the passes all over our area. They love a live shrimp weighted to bottom on super light tackle and minimal weight. The most common approach for them though is bouncing a jig along the sandy bottom to find them chewing. Once you find the fish they are easy to pick off a few while they continue to bite. However, they can be tricky because they move around so much and only bite at opportune times. Pompano are one of my favorite eating inshore fish. It’s a great time to go get a few at the sky way approaches, around fort de soto or drifting through the outside of one of our sandy passes like pass a grill, blinds pass, or the SW side of Johns Pass. Snook action is going very well this past week as they spread out with the warmer weather. These guys are moving back into the passes and even a few early season snook heading onto our beaches. However, we a
