HEMMERS REPORT

Look for the kingfish action to increase during the next few weeks. Use trolled spoons to locate the school. Then switch over to live bait.

Redfish schools are getting spooky. Heavy fishing pressure has made the reds unfriendly. It’s best to anchor and let the school come to you. A corked pinfish is seldom turned down.

The trout action is outstanding. This is the best trout fishing in Tampa Bay since the redtide outbreak We should release trout over 20 inches. These are females full of roe that will help restock the bay to past levels.

Grouper are hanging in the 60 to 120ft range. A live pinfish is the bait of choice.
