Here's what you may catch on a
charter with professional fishing guide, Captain Tommy Ziesmann....
Tampa Bay area fishing guide,
Captain Tommy Ziesmann, led this angler to a healthy redfish. It was
coaxed out from under a dock with an artificial bait.
Redfish are one of
the game fish staples in and around Tampa Bay. Redfish love to eat
shrimp, small crabs, and other crustaceans as well as several types of
baitfish including pinfish threadfin herring, and greenbacks. They
can also be caught on artificial baits that imitate the crustaceans
and baitfish that redfish feed on. The Tampa Bay area offers all
types of redfish habitat. When fishing for redfish with fishing
guide, Captain Tommy, you may fish around oyster bars, sand bars,
creek mouths, grass flats, residential canals, boat docks, and even
beaches. All of which are likely redfish haunts. Often while fishing
for redfish, you will find them bunched up in large schools. This
normally happens on grass flats or around oyster bars. A good angler
or fishing guide, like Captain Tommy, will know how to approach the
redfish schools without spooking them. When that happens, anglers
can be into some nonstop redfish action until their arms fall off.

Snook are one of the
most sought after game fish in all of Florida and the Tampa Bay
area offers some of the best snook fishing in Florida. Snook take up
residence in back country estuaries, canals, and creeks in the
winter time and in the spring they begin making there transition to
the beaches to spawn for the summer. After the summer spawn, they
begin a reverse trek back to their winter haunts late in the fall.
Snook are very sensitive to water temperature and coordinate where
they set up shop according to where they can find the most
comfortable water temperature (they prefer water temperatures in the
70's). As the water temperature goes up, they go out to the beaches.
As the water temperature goes down, they go back to the canals and
creeks. It takes a good angler or a good fishing guide to to learn
where the fish will be during the annual cycle. They can be found in
creeks and canals in the winter time, creek mouths, oyster bars,
grass flats, and any outer surrounding of their wintertime home in
the spring, and passes, bridges, and beaches in the summertime.
When fishing the Tampa Bay area for snook, using live baitfish is
hard to beat. Snook love to eat greenbacks, threadfin herring,
grunts, pinfish, creek chubs, and finger mullet. Snook also love to
eat shrimp and that may be your best bet when live bait is less
abundant in the wintertime.

fishing with Tampa Bay area fishing guide, Captain Tommy Ziesmann.
Spotted sea trout are
among the most abundant game fish in the Tampa Bay area. They can be
caught in all types of environments ,such as, creeks mouths, canals,
beaches, around bridges, around oyster bars, in deep water, and in
shallow water. However, they are probably most famous for being
caught on grass flats. Trout will eat a large variety of baits like
greenbacks, threadfin herring, finger mullet, creek chubs, and
shrimp. But, one of the most exciting ways to fish for them is
fishing with topwater lures early in the morning or late in the
afternoon to evening. Fishing guide, Captain Tommy Ziesmann, has
helped anglers put trout over 10 pounds in the boat while fishing
with topwater baits in the Tampa Bay area. As far as excitement
goes, a topwater bite from a fish like that is hard to beat.
 This happy angler brought a nice
tarpon to the boat near the Sunshine Skyway.
Tarpon are called the
silver kings for a reason. When hooked up to one of these majestic
fish and they leap out of the water, you have to "bow" to them in
order to to give them enough slack to keep them from throwing the
hook. Fishing for tarpon in the Tampa Bay area can take place any
time of the year but summertime is when they are targeted the most
by local anglers and fishing guides. Tarpon can be found in several
areas such as deep water canals, deep back country creeks, rivers,
deep flats, and channels but your best chance at hooking into one of
these awesome fish is in the summer time near one of the many Tampa
Bay area bridges. Tarpon eat greenbacks, threadfin herring, mullet,
crabs, shrimp, pinfish, and ladyfish among other things. If you have
any of these baits on a hook, you're near a bridge in the summertime,
and the tide is moving... you just may have a chance to "bow" to the
king.
These are just a few of the species of
fish that Tampa Bay area fishing guide, Captain Tommy Ziesmann, can
target while on a charter with you. Some of the other fish that
Captain Tommy targets are king mackerel, spanish mackerel, sheephead,
and cobia. To see more pictures... please check out the
