Tampa Bay Inshore Fishing Guides Enjoy a Bountiful Season

Capt. Murphy noted, “The fishing is on fire. Lots of bait on the flats, and the target species are following the bait schools.” His experience as one of the best Tampa fishing guides contributes to his unparalleled knowledge of Tampa Bay’s diverse habitats, which house a multitude of gamefish species.

Tarpon Fishing in Tampa Bay: The Challenge and Reward

Capt. Murphy reveals that tarpon are back in town, and anglers are catching some sizable fish. “Tarpon are an amazing fight,” he comments. “Bridges, passes (like Beans Point and Egmont channel), and local reefs are great locations to begin. These fish have a tremendous fight in them. Use a 6000 series spinning reel with a matching rod with some backbone.” He encourages anglers to be patient, prepared, and not to be discouraged if they throw the hook, a common occurrence known as “jumping a tarpon”.

Tampa Bay’s Redfish and Trout: A Go-to for Anglers

According to Capt. Murphy, “Trout are a great go-to this time of year with the grasses flushing out on the flats.” He recommends using artificial jigs with curly tail bodies and adapting the weight of the jig head to account for the water depth. He also notes that redfish are incredibly strong and provide a thrilling challenge, especially when they seek refuge under the mangroves on high tides.

A Diverse Array of Species in Tampa Bay’s Waters

In addition to tarpon, trout, and redfish, Tampa Bay is also abundant with Spanish mackerel, snook, and other species. Capt. Murphy highlights that while snook are currently closed for harvest, they still contribute to a great day out on the water.
