The Tampa Tribune Outdoors Expo and Boat Show

Coming up this weekend is the Tampa Tribune Outdoors Expo and Boat Show. This is an annual event that has a lot of demonstrations and topics of interest for the Tampa fisherman. It's located at the Florida State Fairgrounds and will run all weekend long. The Cost is $15.00 and you can catch some good boat deals and some good products that you just can't find anywhere else.

GROUPER IN THE GULF

Over the past few weekends the Grouper Fishing has been great here is another example of some catches that a few buddies have sent me. These keepers were caught outta New Port Richey.

Gulf Fishing Over the Weekend

Some weekends are for fishing, some are for Trailer Maintenance. Mine however was for Maintenance BUT, that didn't stop Capt. Doug and the IRISHWAKE from heading out to one of his good stops with a few buddies. Some keeper gags and Snapper but a lot of fishing action. Read all the report and see the Pics of the Beautiful Tiger Shark they hooked at the following link.
