Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report do not state the fish’s length in this box. State the length and species in the box below Had a doctor appointment this morning so I got a late start looking to ‘rip some lips’.

Stopped at Rusty Bucket Baithouse, New Port Richey Main Street to pick up some pinfish with the intent to head down to Fred Howard Causeway to check out Red Tide….

After getting a couple dozen pins (nice price I might add!) headed down and caught the middle of an incoming tide.

Water is still slightly dis-colored but was moving at a pretty good clip- we just had a New Moon on Sunday, so that was to be expected.

Out of the gate, caught a nice frisky 25” Snook out in front of one the bridges, followed up by a lot of Mangrove Snappers…

Action slowed for what ever reason until the tide turned to outgoing then all hell broke loose as I caught 6 Redfish (pins again) biggest was 23”.

Pins were all hooked through the front snout and free lined with just a small ‘clam bullet sinker’, no float.

Snook and Redfish that were caught were either caught out in front of the bridges with the tide or under the bridge about 25’ back.

Had 2 ‘mongo attacks’ that eventually broke off under the bridges – I will be shopping for heavier outfits.

‘A good time was had by all’ except the two mongo’s that will have sore lips tonight

Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report do not state the fish’s length in this box. State the length and species in the box below Mary and I got out for a couple hours Friday – tide was a little goofy, but managed a couple nice slot Redfish early at the mouth of Anclote River.

My secret spot, free of charge – the mangroves just outside of River Park ramps just around the corner from ‘Live Action Bait’ Boat. Works best on an incoming tide.

Caught ’em on pinfish with the tail trimmed off, below  a cork drifting close to the shadows, trimmed tail helps keep them out of the roots.

Headed out to Anclote Key and waters just North – lots of floating fish that I think are getting blown up from Tampa Bay.

Water was a little off color and couldn’t get a bite on Shrimp or a Pinfish… hmmmm not a good sign right now

Nice quiet ride back into our Marina – that’s the great thing about fishing during the week

Rinsing the boat off and found out we had a passenger for the day…. ribbbiiittt-rrribbbitt

Could of used him for bait!!!!

A good time was had by all – except maybe for the little critter.

Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report do not state the fish’s length in this box. State the length and species in the box below Tarpon Fishing Outfitters, where I work, was kind enough to charter Capt Michael Dawson to make a video for the shop, to feature and promote several products we carry and sell.  So Hope Jackson, Alex, our videographer, and I left Anclote River at 8:30 AM.  We hugged the shoreline and fished several spots looking for redfish and baby tarpon. We caught several slot and sub-slot reds but the recent rains apparently pushed the tarpon out of the area where Mike had found them for a week or two before the rain..  I figured I might learn a new spot or two, which did not happen, but I did learn a new technique to catch the reds.  If you want to learn this technique, you will have to charter Capt Mike.  https://patrioticguide.com/

Jeremy headed out from Anclote River about 8 with gentle breezes and loaded with Squid and assorted frozen baits

Current was strong all day but bites were still a little slow at each stop – we just made a lot of drops and never spent much time at each one.

Moving around all day felt good as it provided a chance to cool off.

Lots of shorts to keep us busy and plenty of fat Lane Snappers – looking forwrd to feasting on those little critters.

Valerie took honors with biggest Snapper at 24 inches, I have her a run following up an inch shorter – but followed uo with a big ol’ Red Grouper.

Headed back about 3:00 on calm seas which was nice for a change.

Back in time for a cold one at Miss Vicki’s – al good time was had by all
If this report includes a tournament entry please state the species and length of the fish caught in this box. Terry Reelitz 23″ Red Snapper

Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report do not state the fish’s length in this box. State the length and species in the box below Just wanted to give an update, Joe , Bonnie, Rick, Jean and I all headed out early Tuesday morning on an incoming tide & the wind was supposed to be very minimal !! As we got out of the channel we realized there was a lot more wind and seas than expected!! Anyway we ended up at our spots had a slow start , until tide changed , tide was ripping wind going opposite way made it tough drifting !! But when we hit them we stuck em .. Rick had two nice red snapper, we then started pounding red grouper, lanes and porgies! Been on 5 trips with Joe now and limited each time! Also have some special rigs he has been playing around with just to keep it interesting!!! Great company, good fisherman and an incredible day !!! Joe thanks again!
