Captain Sergio's Forecast: - May 09 - Lower Tampa Bay

On: Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 7:53AM | By: Captain Sergio Atanes

May is the season and the reason for many anglers to get out of bed before the crack of dawn. Tarpon is the magic word all month long as each angler tries to position himself somewhere along their path just before the big red ball rises in the east. Look for them along the beaches and bridges of Tampa Bay as the 100 pound plus Silver King cruise these waters in search of food. Medium to heavy action spinning tackle with 5/0 to 8/0 HD Super Sharp circle hooks tied to 60 to 80 pound test mono leader at least 6 feet long is the trick. Now tie the leader to 50 pound mono fishing and you are ready to conquer the King. Best baits are ladyfish, menhaden, green back sardines and pinfish. Good fishing and tight lines. A native resident of Tampa,Captain Sergio Atanes has fished from Tampa Bay to Boca Grande for over 40 years. Owner and operator of S & I Charters, with 45 professional captains on staff, Capt. Sergio is host of Outdoor Fishing Adventures Radio Show on WGUL 860 AM radio Saturday mornings 7 to 9 AM. (813) 973-7132 www.reelfishy.com
