What anglers said about fishing in Hillsborough County

Extremely HOT. Bring lots of water, cover, and sunscreen. Water temp was high making fish sluggish. Spring fishing may be a more active experience. We still caught fish though.

We had a great time, everything was great! The only thing I would do differently is book for a whole day instead of a half day next time. Time goes by fast when you’re having fun!

My suggestion would be to start out simple, become familiar with the water body and I hire a captain and good luck. The best advice would be contact the fishingbooker.com folks, hopefully you will get lucky with an old timer like Captain Tony (same age as me by the way? This day will go down as a special memory between my grandson and I can’t thank you enough

Be sure and prepare for the sun exposure for the entire time you have chartered the boat for. Hats, long sleeves and high SPF sunblock is vital.

If it's cool out, bring a jacket/windbreaker for the times you're changing fishing spots because the wind can be cold.

Fishing was as expected in November. Not the best, but still caught 20-30 fish even with high wind and cold water.

Be open to the advice of your charter captain. They should have serious expertise and knowledge in getting you the most out of your charter investment. If they don’t, hire Afishianado!

If you fish in the summer, the best time is early morning. We started around 7:30am and if possible as soon as the sun rose. It gets really hot.

Chose Mangrove Madness charters. Captan Brady is so knowledgeable that I’d even feel comfortable going smog myself to fish this area just after Ike trip out with him. Pack lots of sunscreen, and some snacks too! And wear shoes you don’t mind getting wet!

We had a lot of reeled in fish and hits but can't speak to how it compares to other months. The captain did a good job putting us where we wanted to be.
