hi to all the cold weather killed some of the snook but they will make it through this tuff time and with the new closed season! in place they will thrive again. right now is the time to fish for trout and redfish and also silver trout in the canals and docks of the tampa bay area. also the power plant areas will also hold trout and reds using live shrimp is your best bet also look for black drum around the same area. there are alot options out there to catch so have fun and lets go fishing.

Hi again to all. 

Lets start out by talking about this cold front coming our way this weekend!  On January 9-10, 2010 the low temperatures may kill snook who are already in danger from the low temps.

Lets hope the snook hang on in the cold weather. The best bite with the cold weather is in the canals of Tampa Bay and also the power plants of Tampa and Apollo Beach area.

The silver trout bite will be best in the deep water canals and deep the water around the power plants.

Also the sheepshead fishing should be good around the rocks and sea walls. The best bait for them is shrimp and small fiddler crabs.

Thats it for now stay warm out there and tight lines.

Hi again to all.  The fishing for snook and trout has been good!  The fishing will get better as the weather gets cooler and the snook move up the rivers and creeks. It should cool off soon the cold snap 10 days ago had them biting good on the moving tides. Now is the time to book your charter for the fall and winter fishing season .

Tight lines,

Captain Tony Frankland
