BD Pro Capt. Chasten Whitfield here for your BD Florida Fishing Report for the first half of November in the Tampa Bay & Sarasota Bay area.
Inshore Fishing
The redfish + snook + trout bite remains on fire!! Reds under the Mangroves at high tide. The trout are just a few feet off those spots and on grass flats. BIG trout of late!! Nearshore – still all about the tripletail under the local crab pots buoys. Also some mackerel moving in too.

Offshore Fishing
The regulars – snapper and grouper fishing has been solid. Some cobia moving around the zone as well as some blackfin tuna! Watch for Chasten’s full report and tips!
