I am 69 and wade fishing Tampa Bay and St. Petersburg and I love it.

I use DOA shrimp. I have caugh
the fish on all tides, mostly fish flats.

Sounds good, I will check it out when I get back to Florida. I am in CT for the Holidays and catching freshwater trout and salmon.

Didn't fish there for the first time in ten years. Lots of good memories there, but spent time in CT (Farmington River) and Florida (Tampa Bay)...

Not this fall trip, red tide is there. But in the past I have caught some nice fish in the rest area on the north side of skyway piers. I lived in Pulaski for four years and the Syracuse area for another eleven, so I fished there all year, fly fishing the west branch of the Delaware in the summer. Where did you live in NY?

Glad to meet you, I live in Ruskin and our fishing has bee poor this year as well. I have fished the area for 15 years and done better opreviously. I am heading to CT and NY for the holidays and steelhead but will be back in January. Maybe we can get a trip in then.
Take care

Hi there. My name is Fred and I have been fishing everywhere I have lived in the last 65 years, including fishing for 35 years on the Lake Ontario tributaries in the Pulaski, NY area.
I am now a snow bird and have been wade fishing in the Tampa Bay Area from Ruskin to Ft Desoto ( very depressing that they now have been hit by the red tide). I am interested in sharing information, particularly good spots to fish here. I would also be glad to finding new fishing buddies.
Thanks
(Fishin) Fred
