Cold Water Fishing in Tampa Bay

On the water by about 6:00am. We left out of Channel A and headed for the Courtney Campbell to try out the fishing it was a very chilly morning and with all of the rain from the past week we weren't sure if anything would be biting. It was a super low tide and the water was so clear my white jigs, at the bridge, were visible all the way to the bottom we started at the Courtney Campbell and then moved to a fish obstructions just to the south of CCC with no luck, we then moved to a fish obstruction just north of Gandy with no luck we then thought we might try some sheepshead near the bridge footings around Gandy. No Luck there either. There were hardly any other boats out and about and we never saw a fish hooked. The water and air temp was still a little low, in another week or two things should pick up. We did catch a Large Puffer fish and a sting ray. woowee! Your best bet is to stick to the mouths of the channels with live shrimp and a gold jig until we get a few "Chamber of Commerce" Days under our belt.
