Trip Summary

As the water gets colder a whole new batch of fish make their way into tampabay and nearshore Gulf waters. Inshore we have good redfish on the flats with some big black drumm on the bridges and some sheepshead and seatrout for fish tacos. Nearshore we have cobia, snapper, sharks and barracuda on the reefs. Some hogfish and pompano have been getting thrown into the mix as well. If youd like to try a battle against a shark. We have plenty of those as well!
