South Pinellas Fishing Report

1 December 2007

With water temps holding fairly steady, the fish don’t seem to be moving around as much. If you find fish in one place on particular tide, there’s no reason for them to not continue the same pattern for several days. Really, as long as there are no significant changes.

Big trout have been the leading story around here for the last week or so. These fish are being caught on most 3 – 4 foot deep, healthy, grass flats. Most of the trout are being targeted with artificial. Top water baits and jigs seem to top the list of arties.

Redfish are still abundant in most of the usual areas. The fish have been suckers for cut bait, but are more than willing to eat their share of live baits such as white bait or pinfish. The reds have been schooling in pretty good numbers and seem to be feeding mostly on the incoming tide.

Now is usually the best time to target flounder in this area. This year has been no exception. Good numbers have been caught around residential docks, on the sandy edges of flats or just off of rubble, rock or sunken structure.

Plenty of spanish mackerel are still being caught on and near the beaches. There are still some kingfish to be had, although this may come to an end with the next big cold front. Also, there has been some good triple tail being caught by those with the skills and patience to hunt them.

Tight Linez and Happy Holidays!

Thanks for the report captain! It's good of you to take the time to let us weekend warriors know what you're seeing out there. A bit chilly today though I'm guessing (smiley here).

Thanks again, Scott
