Redfish, Snook, and Summer Bites Heat Up Tampa Bay Waters

Tampa Bay is firing on all cylinders this July, offering anglers a mix of steady inshore action and a few surprises. Redfish are schooling along the mangrove lines and oyster bars, especially during the morning incoming tides. Most reds are slot-sized, but a few oversized bruisers are making appearances, especially around the mouth of the bay and in shallower grass flats. Snook fishing is strong, particularly near residential docks, bridges, and the passes. These fish are staging close to current breaks and ambushing live bait—whitebait and threadfins are getting crushed right now. Night fishing around light lines has also been productive for targeting larger snook avoiding the midday heat. Trout are holding steady on the deeper grass flats, especially between 4–6 feet of water. Anglers drifting with popping corks and live shrimp are finding success, with a few big specks mixed in. Tarpon have thinned out a bit compared to June, but there are still a few rollers along the beaches and channels for those willing to hunt. Whether you’re poling the flats or drifting the channels, Tampa Bay is delivering quality fish and good variety—just be sure to bring sunscreen and plenty of water.

A great captain and fisherman. Hes hands down one of the best charters out there. Eric is great with kids and will flat put you on the fish. Hes the only charter my family and I will ever take and Ive been on alot!

September 21, 2025

Eric was extremely accommodating! He came to our house in Anna Maria Island to pick us up from our little dock on the canal! He took us straight to the fish and kept us on the fish all day long. He cleaned our fish and gave us tips and advice on how to keep it fresh and tasty. He truly is a guide I would like to see again. Can't say that about most guys. Huge thank you. See ya in a few months.

September 21, 2025

Eric isn’t called the fishin magician for nothing! Eric did a great job and put us on the fish every spot we went to. If you are wanting to go out and have a great time and catch fish then Captain Eric is your man. Highly recommend and will definitely be back on the water very soon with the best captain in the Bay Area.

September 21, 2025

Great two days. Very knowledgeable of the local waters.

September 21, 2025

Best fishing trip you will have . Super knowledgeable of the area and will put you on the fish . Been out 2xs now and can’t wait for our 3rd trip .

September 21, 2025

Cap Eric is a top notch guide and fisherman. He not only is friendly and courteous but really knows his fish. Everything from bait fish to flounder to red fish to grouper and dolphin watching Eric knows it all. Been out twice summer and winter and my hubby and I would rather fish with Eric than go to Disney any day. I cannot say enough good things about our incredible times. It’s pure magic any time of year with Cap. Eric!!!
