Clearwater, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
Dunedin
With the recent cold fronts, the water has chilled to the perfect temperature. With the water in the low 60's, the fishing has exploded. Redfish are in good number on the flats ranging from 25 to 35 inches. The best time to fish in on the extreme low tides. The Reds will be tailing all over the right flats, which make for great sight fishing.
Snook have finally moved into the canals. These fish seek the warmth of the dark water. The canals have very little water movement which maintains
warmer water temperatures. The Snook will be found on the sunlit seawalls, which also create the warmth they desire. They are in big numbers and easy targets in midday and afternoon. A live jumbo shrimp or fly can get the job done.
Trout have made a big push into our area. These fish are from 3 to 5 Lbs. and can be found in most drop offs adjacent to spoil islands and the flats. Bigger Trout will be in shallower water from 1 to 2 feet laying in potholes.
Now is the time to book your trip. The Tarpon will be here before you know it, so call now for the catch of a lifetime!

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!
