With spring about to kick off a lot of anglers in Tampa Bay are looking forward to the in suing snook spawning period...

During our 2 day trip, Dustin, landed over 7 different species of fish. Sheephead, Trout, Lizzardfish, ladyfish, Whiting, Snook, Redfish and even a cool little Pufferfish kept Dustins’ rod bent.

It started as a photo shoot for some sponsors  but the sight of Reds all over quickly changed our plans a bit. Green Key is a beautiful area located in Port Richey, Fl. The water there is very clear and very shallow with endless opportunities at sight casting fish. the estuaries are mostly spring fed with a
