Tampa Bay Fall Is Coming!
Report Date: September 1, 2009
Fall is sneaking up us; it will be here before we know it. We actually had our first cold front of the fall season last week, and although it didn’t produce much cooler weather, it did produce a north wind. It doesn’t take much to change fishing in the Bay, and that is exactly what the cold front did. The fish did a little more moving around.
Soon snook will be back in season, so we will be able to keep these great fish.
We still fish for them when they are out of season, we just don’t keep them. We haven’t done a lot of snook fishing lately, but we have managed to catch a few each trip. While we have caught a few snook at night, we have caught most of them during the day. We’ve seen a lot of great snook this late spring, which probably means that we are going to have great snook fishing this fall. More snook should push up in the rivers than in years past because of how cold they got last year, and as a matter of fact, many are already showing up in the rivers now.
The redfish are still doing a lot of moving around, but once the water temperature remains the same for a week or two,
they should get back into their normal routine. Although we have caught a good number of redfish lately, we just haven’t been able to predict how they are going to bite. We might catch big redfish one day and slot-sized redfish the next. Regardless of the size of the fish, redfishing is tons of fun.
The snapper and trout fishing have been great lately. We’ve just about been catching as many of these fish as we want to. Many fish are chasing the small bait that is showing up in the Bay. We have had a number of days where we’ve caught our limit of trout and snapper, and had all kinds of other species mixed in the bag.
Tarpon are still here! The seas have been a bit rough lately, but it hasn’t slowed us down. The tarpon should stay around until late fall; however, we might have to change the way we fish for them when the water temperature drops. Until then, its fish on!
