Fish gravitate toward bridges for a multitude of reasons, but primarily for food. The shadow lines of all the bridges throughout Tampa Bay are loaded with baitfish. So, naturally, fish are going to hang around the bridges to feed, but also to stay cool. During major tide cycles, the current flows fast under bridges and this tends to cool the water.

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources would like to remind trout anglers that catch-and-release fishing during the hot summer months can be harmful to trout. Angling and handling of trout is extremely stressful and not recommended. Anglers are encouraged to target other species. Water temperatures 65 – 67 degrees:

Summer in SWFL and things are hot already. And going offshore it may be a little cooler if there is a light breeze. On a good day offshore in the morning and inshore in the afternoon. Running out past the 100’ you can find those red grouper. For those that don’t have numbers look at your charts and find some areas that have hard bottom. Or look at your bottom machine while you are running and mark some of those areas. Then go back and rig your pole with a fish finder rig with a leader about 6-7’ long and 3 oz. of weight to start, and check the wind and current so you drift across your mark. Be ready to mark the spot when 2 of you get hooked at the same time, then go back and anchor on that spot and fish it for a little while and then move on. By doing this you will find some new spots. So, the more wind there is the more weight you need to add. Some guys like tying a chicken rig because you can use smaller line for your weight. This is good when you get snagged on the bottom as it is easier to snap the line and you don’t lose the whole rig. The weights that are shaped like a rain drop with an eye on one end work well for this method. Doing this can produce some nice reds for the dinner table. You may also find some areas that hold snapper or vermilion snapper. In the 60’ range keep an eye open for some permit on the artificial reefs that have some good relief. They like crustaceans to eat-shrimp or crabs. I usually keep a pack of D.O.A. shrimp available and tie one on and cast it to them. Triple tail like to hang around anything floating and you may cast to them also.

Current is key when targeting bass during the summer. Moving water is cooler and more oxygenated than still water, and fish often congregate in these spots when water temperatures rise. This can be anything from ledges and dams to stream riffles and storm drainages. Moving water will attract fish and serve as a highway delivering food right to their mouths.

Many people might wonder what the difference is between crocodiles and alligators, and the answer is not a whole lot when you're trying to avoid them. Alligators have darker skin than crocodiles and a more rounded nose. They are found in freshwater — lakes, streams, and rivers — unlike crocodiles, which generally survive in salt water, often near the coast. Perhaps the easiest way to spot the differences between them is by their teeth. A crocodile's bottom fourth tooth on each side always sticks out when its mouth is closed, whereas an alligator's slides into the upper jaw.

Shrimp boats provide fish of all varieties with an all-you-can-eat buffet of discarded bycatch. Often you can find plenty of school blackfins or yellowfins ready to inhale a popper or slam a jig fished just behind the trawler. Capt. Kurt Tillman made this the first stop after we departed from his slip in Dauphin Island, Alabama. After a commute of about 80 miles, we started working the waters directly behind a trawler with 8-inch-long No Live Bait Needed straight tails rigged on jig heads. With each cast, our jigs were inhaled by sharks, hitting them almost instantly. But we failed to hook any tuna, eventually moving on in search of greener pastures and our original targets.

The water temperature is up, the boat traffic is down, and it’s time to get out there and fish! Although it has been incredibly hot lately, we are just now starting to get into our summertime rain pattern, so the Gulf temperature should start to cool slightly over the coming days. This is personally my favorite time of year to fish, and if you’re not out there targeting some of our local favorites like tarpon and snook then you are certainly missing out!

Targeting bass during a mayfly hatch is a great way to generate big bites in the summer months. Starting in May and running through September, mayflies emerge all across North America. Usually associated with trout and fly fishing, mayfly hatches are also great for targeting bass. These bugs draw in largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass that feed on the flies themselves, as well as other smaller fish eating the bugs.

Social media is good for some things, but it does have its downfalls—like scrolling aimlessly until I wind up in such a deep rabbit hole of videos that I forget why I even opened the app. However, one of those rabbit holes led me to Roger Aye’s Instagram profile, @cookingandfishing, where post after post demonstrated his prowess with a style of fluke fishing I had never seen before. Instead of the standard bucktails and Gulp, or squid and spearing, Roger does a majority of his shore-based fluke fishing with jerkbaits designed for freshwater bass fishing.

Flutter spoons are great bass baits for summertime fishing. Largemouth, spotted, and even some smallmouth bass become susceptible to these chunks of metal as fish move offshore and look for a reprieve in cooler, deeper waters. Here, schools of bass will group up on isolated cover like brushpiles, ledges, and points, looking to ambush prey. And flutter spoons are a great way to feed them what they think they want.
