Saturday, January 23rd Outing
Fish the water surrounding Weedon Island Preserve including Tampa Bay, Riviera Bay, Bayou Grande and Master’s Bayou just south of Gandy Blvd.
We’ll have a slow incoming tide. Riviera Bay is noted for its big ladyfish. Big seatrout and redfish are being caught along the mangrove shorelines of Tampa Bay.
Members catching the longest snook, seatrout, and redfish win gift cards to Bill Jackson’s.
Kayakers: Launch near the fishing pier. Or you can rent a kayak at Sweetwater Kayaks on Weedon Drive near Riviera Bay.
Wade in options:
- Wade in to Riviera Bay from
Sweetwater Kayaks or other paths
through the mangroves along the
main road. - Wade in at the base of the fishing
pier/kayak launch area. - Hike the Upland Trail to Lookout
Point Trail then wade in to Tampa
Bay. It’s a 10 to 15-minute hike.
For safety’s sake, always fish with
others. Join the waders meeting up
at the main parking lot at 7:00 am.
. Take pictures and post them on our club’s Facebook. site….facebook.com/scff2020
Measure your longest fish and email photo to Bob Burkhard.
