HEMMERS REPORT

SNOOK ARE FEEDING BEST IN THE UPPER PARTS OF Tampa Bay. A scaled sardine is the best bait. Free-line where you see the snook schooling. Light tackle will get the most strikes.

Tarpon are showing up around the Skyway Bridge and the cuts inside of the bridge. A free-lines pinfish is the bait of choice. Cast in front of rolling tarpon and let the pinfish do the rest.

Kingfish are hanging in the shipping channel. Start at markers 7 and 8, then work your way out. You can jig up trolling baits around the markers.

The trout action remains hot. Most of the action is over areas that have sand and grass. Work the areas that are 3 to 4ft deep.
