Trained for Tampa Bay waters
Hey Tampa boater. Tell me what's going on — electronics issue, engine trouble, tarpon question for the Skyway, or Gulf grouper regs. Real answers, not generic search.
Tarpon bite off the Skyway — when's the peak this year?
Tampa Bay tarpon season builds through May and peaks mid-May through June at the Skyway piers and the ship channel. You'll find them on outgoing tides hanging along the bridge pilings and in the ship channel at sunrise and sunset. The silver king run through Egmont Channel is weather-dependent — clean water brings them up. Live crabs on 50lb floro, 8/0 circle hooks, free-line. Want current water temps and best launch for this week?
