Late October Fishing

It's Cooling off and the fishing is getting HOT. Heres the latest on what I've seen and heard. Lower Tampa Bay: The Grouper and Kings have moved into Shallower water. Grouper are being caught in and around the shipping channel near Egmont Key. Schools of reds are running in and around the bridge areas.
Upper Tampa Bay: Snook and Redfish are moving around the mouths of the upper bay channels and creeks. Double Branch Creek is hot early morning so is Cabbagehead channel and Rocky Point Creek. Snook have also been seen in the early evening hitting the surface baits along most creeks. A good night bet is a freelined shrimp near the docks with lights on them all throughout the upper channels and housing areas near rocky point. Mangroves edges on the start of outgoing tides are your best bet with pin fish and shrimp your best bait, also a well placed D.O.A. will do the trick.
