About

Near shore Fly Fishing in the Gulf waters off Tampa Bay is a unique experience that has many species to target. Depending on the season. The Gulf waters are home to False albacore, Spanish mackerel, Kingfish, Triple, and Cobia throughout the year. Some of these fish like the Mackerel and Albacore are fished of wrecks and reefs where they are chummed into casting range and large baitfish patterns and streamers are presented often resulting in the violent strike and long runs by these powerful fish. Another method we employ while fly fishing the gulf is to “Run and Gun” looking for schools of actively feeding fish on the surface or running the crab trap lines looking for Triple tail.
