Fishing Report

Snook are feeding well around the area again this past week, says Captain Dylan Hubbard of Hubbard's Marina. These snook are very focused on the presence of the bait. They are moving and staying in areas where their prey is most prevalent.

Snook action has been going well still around our passes and even some on the beaches while many fish start moving to the back bay. Gag grouper action continues to pick up slowly around the near-shore waters adjacent to our coastline, says Captain Dylan Hubbard of Hubbard’s Marina.

Trout action has picked up a bit throughout Tampa Bay with the cooler temperatures. The active trout bite can be found around the bays, river mouths, canals, and flats, says Captain Dylan Hubbard of Hubbard's Marina.

The hogfish bite seems to have gained some steam as of late. We are fishing a little deeper for them closer to 50-60ft of water, which seems to be the starting area, says Captain Dylan Hubbard of Hubbard’s Marina.

Sheepshead action is picking up, especially behind the fronts where water is murky and stirred up. We should be seeing more of these guys showing up over the coming weeks with more aggressive feeding too, says Captain Dylan Hubbard over at Hubbard's Marina.

Captain Dylan Hubbard says the redfish bite is as good as it gets right now in the grassflats, oyster beds and mangrove shorelines. He adds that snook, trout, mackerel and mangrove snapper are also abundant.

Triple tail action has been nonstop lately around the area and will only improve as stone crab season opened today. This means more traps will be around, which act as big chum blocks along the bays and beaches, says Captain Dylan Hubbard of Hubbard's Marina.

As waters cool, trout get on the move and get more aggressive as they prepare to feed more heavily in preparation of their spawn. We are seeing the trout start to move a little shallower as the temperatures in the bay cool off slightly, says Captain Dylan Hubbard of Hubbard's Marina.

Pompano bite has started to pick up. It’s still early but we are going to see more and more of these guys through the fall period as we look forward to their return to the beaches, says Captain Dylan Hubbard of Hubbard's Marina.

Amberjack appear to be most active and concentrated past 140 feet of water, but you can find them a little shallower too. However, deeper you go the bigger they get, says Captain Dylan Hubbard of Hubbard's Marina.
