Fishing Reports by Capt. TJ Stewart

Great Grouper bite way up in Tampabay! - Is the wind ever going to stop blowing? That seems to be the million dollar question. Spring has definitely had a windy start. The wind is one thing, but dealing with the cold weather that is coming with it, is another. It definitely keeps me on more...
