Last week’s question was, Where would you rather go tarpon fishing, southwest Florida or the lower Keys? Why?

Tampa Bay and the Nature Coast

Fishing this past week was great for redfish, trout, and snook, in North Tampa Bay and along the Nature Coast. The weather finally got chilly last Saturday. A cold front came through and ended our unseasonably warm weather. We also had super low tides this past week due to the brisk north winds and the full moon. The fish didn't have many places to go with the water being so low. The small amount of water that remained on the flats held groups of hungry fish.
