Fishing Report week of 8/9/2018

The report has not really changed much since last one, Grouper in 20 to 25 feet of water, look for structure and bring a couple of chum bags to get them in the mood to eat. Sea trout have been in about 6 to 8 feet of water over seagrass. Snook & Reds first thing in morning or near sunset, During the day we have been seeing some monster Reds & Snook but they will not eat anything and  they do not even run from the boat because they are saving there energy because of warm water,  but if you are fishing early or late try working a incoming or out going tide and look for deep pockets and some moving water that is where they are hanging out and near Mangroves. Bait of choice is still Greenbacks and you can find them early in morning just look for a boil on the water. On a side note Fishing Florida Flats located at 6300 Clark Street in Hudson is open so come and visit and the Dolphin Tours have been in full swing and doing great, you can book a Dolphin Tour, fishing charter or even scalloping trip just by calling (813) 433-0220 or visiting www.fishingfloridaflats.com.
