Clearwater, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
Dunedin Harbor
The Tarpon have shown up on the West Central Beaches from St. Petersburg to Tarpon Springs. These fish are in giant schools. The best time to target these brawlers is from daybreak to around 10 AM. For the backwater enthusiast, there are plenty of these giants from Tampa Bay to St. Joseph's Sound. These areas are prime during midmorning due to excessive boat traffic off the beaches. The Tarpon have been ranging from 80 to 150 Lbs.
Now is the time to book your trip for the thrill that only the King can bring.
Redfishing has been strong on the flats. These bulldogs are feeding on whitebait and hard plastic jerk baits. The average fish are ranging from 26 to 34 inches.
Snook are up and down the beaches and in the passes. White bait has been the bait of choice to coax these weary fish into feeding. Fish ranging from 5 to 20 Lbs. has been the norm.
This is the month to achieve the Grand Slam.

Bio: As with most diehard fisherman I started at an early age. Growing up on the Indian Rocks Pier I learned quickly that the "Oldtimers" were vast with knowledge. They took me under their wings and shared that much needed knowledge. In 1985 Hurricane Elena took away my favorite fishing pier and with it the informal educational sessions I so enjoyed. I moved to later work as a mate on a commercial fishing vessel. In my spare time I fished off piers and the flats.
Then I met an excellent local fisherman by the name of Kenny Krohl who introduced me to "Light Tackle Sport Fishing". I learned the finer points of fly fishing and light tackle. Kenny holds several IGFA World Records on a fly rod and light gear. I have made the backwater estuaries my second home.
Come experience the joys and excitement of "Skinny Water" fishing at it's best!
