HEMMERS REPORT

Snook are moving through the docks on the West Side of Tampa Bay. Fish the fronts of the docks during low tide. When the tide is high, fish under the dock. A scaled sardine is the bait of choice.

Kings are still hanging in the ship channel. Look for markers that have bait schools on the surface. Jig up the baits and slow troll near the bait schools.

Trout, bluefish, mackerel and ladyfish can be found over the grass flats that are 3 to 4ft deep. Strawberry and motor oil colored jigs are working great. Drift the grass until you locate the fish. Once found, you can re-drift that area.

Tarpon are starting to show-up on the beach in Tarpon Springs. The bridges in Tampa Bay are also producing. The Skyway is good during the day and the Gandy is good at night.
