  • Tarpon Springs Fishing Report - FL

    With the weekly cold front’s rolling through our water temperatures have dropped into the 50’s. This big change from nearly 70 the early part of last week have the fish confused, it’s like a migration every week from warm water refuges to the flat’s. Deep holes not exposed to hard north wind’s are sometimes the best place to start, as well as protected bayou’s in the river and other estuary system’s if you get enough tide to get back into them!










    Artificial lures have been very effective lately and a productive method of catching fish this year. Cold fronts turn the Snook and Redfish off, as they are temperature sensitive at different stages of degree’s, so I've concentrated on catching lot’s of game fish like the Spotted Sea Trout, deep grass flats and the edges of these flats, the drop-off’s where the sand meet’s the grass and deep residential canal’s, plus any warm water outflow like the
    Anclote power plant have been holding fish, there’s a lot of water out there so you have to continue to locate them, they usually don't move to far but drastic changes will liven them up to forage for food on the shallower parts of flats, start where the grass potholes and broken bottom is and work your way up onto the flat to catch them sunning, work all your bait’s very slowly in these condition’s, at the time of this report the water is beginning to warm up into the 60’s ! Here comes Spring and the migration bait-fish run !
