All our Tampa fishing charters this month have had their ups and downs.
We have had trips almost every day this month, and fishing seemed to change each day.
Large cold fronts and big winds have been spreading the bite thin on morning trips. We have produced some nice Tampa bay bull redfish, snook, trout, and bonnethead sharks in between the lulls in our bites.
Tampa bay fishing should be getting locked into a lovely wintertime pattern here within the next week or so.
With cold fronts blowing through almost weekly now, the fish will seek warmer water, and we will see fishing throughout December heat up in Tampa bay. Species we will be targeting in December in Tampa Bay are,
Pompano, Permit, Snapper, Sheepshead, Redfish, and Trout.

We’re full-time fishing guides at FishnFL and when the fishing is slow you can always count on us to be upfront and let you make the choice whether to fish or not. With that being said.

December is one of our favorite months to fish in Tampa bay. We will be seeing a big improvement on the bite as our weather pattern holds steady.

If you want to get a date locked in for fishing
