Inshore fishing is a way of life in the Tampa Bay. It’s no surprise, then, that one of Florida’s favorite inshore fish, Snook, is high on the list for anglers in “The Big Guava.” From the backwater to the beaches, there’s exciting fishing all year round. Whether out of Tampa, St. Petersburg, Bradenton, or any smaller fishing village, you’re in for a guaranteed day of fun.
What to Expect
With calm backcountry and grass flats leading into open bays, you'll target Snook in different environments. The calm waters make it possible for beginners to give fishing a go, while the sheer number of fish will satisfy the hardiest anglers.
During winter, a Tampa Bay Snook fishing charter will take you to the shallow backcountry and flats. These calm waters are more suited to experienced anglers as you’ll spend your day quietly going after your prey. Snook scare easily, so you’ll need to cast without arousing suspicion.
Beginners and the more experienced will love the summer in equal measure. The Snook population comes into its own in the warmer months, and they love to feed. Out in the open bays and along the beaches, you’ll get more bang for your buck, as you battle it out time after time.
You’ll even get to go out at night for some more exciting action. Under the dock lights, the Snook’s bait fish rise to the top, giving the Snook cause to join them. Seek them out and trick them into taking your line.
How to Prepare
Your bay boat will come fitted with everything you need to land plenty of Snook. Your captain will provide rods, reels, bait or lures, and your license will be covered. All you need to do is bring some drinks and snacks aboard and get ready to make the most of your time on the water. Come and discover the beauty and thrill of Snook fishing in Tampa Bay!
