Tripletail Fishing Charters

The waters just offshore of our gulf beaches in Saint Petersburg, and inside in Tampa Bay are scattered with naturally formed, and man-made structures that make for world class Tripletail fishing. Tripletail were given their name “triple – tail” because the pectoral fin, and the anal fin both meet at the end of the fishes tail appearing as if the fish has three tails. Captain Christopher Taylor practices the use of live natural baits when targeting these fish on Tampa fishing charters, Ruskin fishing charters, and Apollo Beach fishing charters in an open water setting. Tripletail fishing charters are a specialty trip meaning they are the primary targeted species of fish during the trip. Other species of fish may be caught during these trips, however other species caught are considered by-catch or caught by accident during Tampa fishing charters, Ruskin fishing charters, and Apollo Beach Fishing Charters. Most common by-catch on Tripletail fishing charters are Cobia, Sharks, and Spotted Seatrout. Tripletail have excellent table fare value and are the Captains most preferred eating fish. Tampa Bay is also a short distance from Orlando and most of Floridas theme parks. So if your looking for a Orlando fishing charter consider Tampa bay for catching Tripletail.

During most of the year Spanish Mackerel can be caught in Tampa Bay. However the weeks between the months of May and August the Spanish Mackerel fishing can be extremely productive on most Tampa fishing charters and Ruskin fishing charters. During the months of May – June it is not uncommon to collect the boats limit of Spanish Mackerel within the first hour of trip given the right circumstances. Spanish Mackerel can be distinguished from other species of mackerel by the dark colored markings on the front of the dorsal fin, and the slightly straight lateral line compared to other Mackerel. Spanish Mackerel can be found anywhere mass numbers of baitfish are swimming about especially in the Apollo Beach, and Ruskin area, as well as any heavy bottom structure. Captain Christopher Taylor practices the use of live, and dead natural baits in conjunction with the deployment of the Captains “Secret Chum Formula” on Tampa fishing charters and Ruskin fishing charters. When cooked fresh Spanish Mackerel make for good table fare. Tampa Bay is also a short distance from Orlando and most of Floridas theme parks. So if your looking for Orlando fishing charters consider Tampa bay for catching Spanish Mackerel.

Tampa Bay is home to over 200 species of fish including sharks. Sharks depend on the bay for every aspect of their life cycle from swimming, to breeding, and of course what they are famous for “eating”. What makes Tampa Bay so vital to the shark species and other forms of marine life is the variance in salinity. The bay holds a massive ecosystem that consists of multiple brackish water waterways connecting the freshwater rivers with the saltwater of Tampa Bay. Many sharks depend on the mild brackish water conditions to breed juvenile sharks Tampa, Ruskin, and Apollo Beach estuaries are prime to this. Many anglers looking to go on Tampa fishing charters and Ruskin fishing charters desire to cross catching a shark off of their bucket list. Captain Christopher Taylor practices the use of live, and dead natural baits in conjunction with the Captains “Secret Chum Formula” on most Tampa fishing charters and Ruskin fishing charters. Common sharks caught on Tampa Bay shark fishing charters are Bonnethead, Blacktip, Nurse, Atlantic Sharpnose, Bull, Hammerhead, and more. Tampa Bay is also a short distance from Orlando and most of Floridas theme parks.
