Fishing Guide Tampa Bay Florida
Traveling to the Tampa Bay this winter and like to fish? It may be chillier outside, but unlike other places, fishing opportunities are still plentiful and abundant. In fact, many locals say it's their favorite time of the year to fish because of the diverse fish that migrate south for the winter.
As the seasons change from summer to fall, kingfish and flounder can be spotted around John's Pass Fishing Pier in Madeira Beach, along with Spanish mackerel, karcher, trout, and cobia.
For Spanish mackerel, you can expect to see fish 6-7 lbs and for kingfish, 12-15 lbs. Other fish like karcher, grouper, including 12-16 lb grouper, and cobia are bountiful, but you need to pay attention to the laws that regulate what you are and aren't allowed to keep. For example, you are limited in how much grouper you can keep in the 20-60 foot range (WOW!) The captain of your fishing charter will be able to tell you what you can and can't keep so you are in compliance with local fishing laws.
Speaking of deals - because it's a slower time of year for vacations, the fall means that many of Tampa Bay beaches' hotels, motels, and vacation rentals/condos offer cheaper weekly rental rates, including Madeira Beach which is where John's Pass Village is located in. That means you can stay longer and at a more affordable rate. Check with local vacation condo rental companies to learn more.

Fishing Charters & Guide | Tampa Bay FL
If you want to catch big fish, then you’ve come to the right place. Welcome to Tampa Bay, Florida, home of some of the best inshore and offshore fishing in the world! I’m a native of the Tampa Bay area and have been fishing the waters of Tampa Bay and the Gulf since I could walk. This gives me the unique advantage of knowing when and where the fish are and how to make them bite on my tampa fishing charters. I am a FULL-TIME fishing guide and am on the water almost 300 days a year. Whether your goal is a monster snook, giant tarpon, or a shark 3 times your size, we can do it! Some of my favorite species to fish for include Tarpon, Cobia, Snook, Redfish, and trout.

Additional Fishing Info
One of the perks of living in Pinellas County is the convenient access to the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico, Lake Tarpon, Tampa Bay and Lake Seminole. If you are a boat lover or enjoy a day of fishing on the water, you are in the right place. There are many boat ramps, parks, and private residences to launch a boat from.
To access Lake Tarpon, many people use facilities such as John Chestnut Sr. Park, and Anderson Park. With some of the best freshwater bass fishing in the area, you can also jet ski and even see an occasional sea plane from the water.
And don't forget about Tampa Bay. Phillipe Park in Safety Harbor has a small boat ramp, and there is a larger ramp off the Courtney Campbell Bridge. Closer to St. Petersburg, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge has a separate fishing pier for those wishing to fish from the shore. Tampa Bay is a great place to boat, water ski, and fish for the day. When you fish near the bridges or in the open water in Tampa Bay, you're sure to reel in a few great catches!
