Dear Mr. Sargeant: I will be coming down to Tampa in two weeks. We will be spending time in Longboat Key as well. We have a boat lined up for Tampa Bay but no real fishermen for guides. Any suggestions for some recreational fishing for an out-of-towner at both these locations? I have also looked into a license and see that I may need both salt and fresh water. I appreciate any input you may have. Thank you, Casey O’Dell
Casey: It’s a good time to come. I’d suggest you fish on the southeast side of Tampa Bay, in the area known as The Bulkhead, and from there up to the Skyway, over grass bottom in water 2 to 8 feet deep. Use 1/4 ounce plastic tailed jigs or Tsunami 4-inch swimbaits, available locally. Hop them along bottom - you’ll catch plenty of trout, probably some mackerel and maybe blues, too. Good luck.

Coming to Tampa next week. What kind of rod/reel would be appropriate for fishing the Skyway Piers or other surf locations in the Tampa area. I have a various assortment of rods/reels to choose from i.e., surf rods, boat rods, lightweight collapsible rods and various Penn conventional reels, a spinning reel and an assortment of small Zebco reels. My terminal tackle is used primarily with chunk baits, worms, clams for fishing in the Atlantic surf, in the New Jersey area and the Hudson River. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Frank, I’m writing an “interview biography” of Gene Turner, who as you know fought for the net ban and helped inititate the Suncoast Kingfish Tournament, etc.
I understand that you have had some ties with Gene in the past. I’m interviewing people who can contribute a paragraph or more regarding impressions of Gene.
I spoke to you once before. You told me how to get aerial photos of the flats. Also I sat with Capt Frank Bachnik, (who my sons and I have fished with for many years), at the Orlando meeting about snook a few years ago. You sat behind us.
thankyou for any interest. Tony (727) 742-8424
