With temperatures in the mid-80s the last couple of weeks, it’s hard to believe it’s still winter. Especially, since it’s snowing in much of the country. Visitors are not only enjoying our spectacular weather, but have the opportunity to experience some of Tampa Bay’s outstanding fishing too. With water temperatures hovering in the mid-70s, the […]
I usually don’t do this however; I would like to recommend a guide. I have been using Wade at Afishionado Guide Services for many years. If you are in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area on spring break or anytime, it is $ well spent. If you are a beginner or a pro, Wade will instruct when […]
We had a great day on the water with Captain Wade! He put us on fish quickly and was very efficient with rebaiting and taking pictures of us with our catches. We saw lots of dolphins and manatees and he had plenty of witty jokes. I would definitely recommend Wade for an inland charter! Lucas […]
My last three bookings came from anglers staying in hotels on Pinellas County beaches. The first thing they asked me was about the fishing in the bay since red tide continues to plague the Pinellas coastline and kill fish. That is not the case where I’m fishing. As a matter of fact, the fishing is […]
During the first half of this month, we had to endure summer like conditions, but for the rest of December we will be experiencing below normal temperatures. This change has fish on the move and unpredictable. As we settle into winter however, fish will become more stationary and willing to eat. Snook are moving into […]
As we approach mid-November with the days now shorter, the water temperature is dropping, and fish are on the move. Fish are still on the grass flats, but as November ends fish will be moving into deeper water for warmth and will remain there until March. Typically, these areas are secluded with muddy bottoms protected […]
One of the most beneficial aspects of October is the water temperature starts falling back into the 70’s. This drop in temperature places fish in their comfort zone, so they tend to feed more aggressively. I refer to October as Red October because redfish are in the midst of their annual spawn and large schools […]
With fall just a month away, the fishing will continue to improve day by day. August has been a brutal month for fishing. The water temperature early on was hovering around 90-degrees, now it’s right at 88. Believe it or not, just a slight temperature drop makes a big difference in fish activity. Inconsistency has […]
The fishing for the remaining of summer doesn’t change very much. What does change however, are the tides. The water temperature right now is hovering around 90 degrees, so it’s important to fish during a strong moving tide. The reason for this is simple: A moving tide tends to cool the water a bit and […]
Wade saved the day! My sister-in-law booked a charter online for her husband’s birthday. My wife and I were invited, so we all took the day off from work. One hour before our scheduled excursion, the captain cancelled our charter. Trying to salvage our day, we looked for Guide Services and found Wade. We explained […]
