We have a Friday Fishing Report for you!!!
Get ready for an exciting weekend of fishing as the full moon on Sunday brings plenty of moving water and bait action across the region! This video covers all the hot spots and techniques for inshore, nearshore, and offshore fishing this weekend and beyond. Whether you're targeting snook, redfish, hogfish, or even pelagics like tuna and kingfish, we've got you covered with tips and tricks for a successful trip!

Inshore Fishing Highlights:

Snook: Transitioning to back bay areas. Target shallow, dark, mud-bottomed spots.
Redfish: Feeding aggressively across the bay. Great action on beaches, jetties, and docks.
Trout: Nighttime hotspots include dock and bridge lights, while flats and mangroves produce during the day.
Flounder & Pompano: Target structure and sandy bottoms for flounder; use jigs for pompano in clear water.
Sharks: Active bite from bonnetheads, black tips, and bulls.
Nearshore Fishing Highlights:

Hogfish: Best catches on 10-hour trips. Use live shrimp near small structures and ledges.
Mangrove & Lane Snapper: Mangroves are mixed with hogfish catches; lanes are biting but remain closed until January.
Porgies & Grey Snapper: Fun action for all skill levels.
Offshore Fishing Highlights:

Red Snapper Season Reopens! Nov 18 - Dec 31. Use big dead baits for trophy-sized fish.
Scamp Grouper: Target with live pinfish or threadfins. Fantastic table fare!
Triggerfish, Yellowtail & Mangrove Snapper: Consistent action on squid and cut bait.
Pelagic Bite: Blackfin tuna, kingfish, and wahoo are heating up the action offshore.
Pro Tips & Conservation Message:

Look for moving water and bait activity near structures for the best results.
Always dehook and safely release birds if accidentally entangled in your fishing line. Protecting seabirds helps keep fishing areas open for everyone!

A quick fishing report for you all!

Weather Outlook: conditions should calm down by Sunday, with fantastic weather Monday and Tuesday. Midweek might see some unsettled conditions as another front approaches, but the weekend looks
great once things stabilize.

Reminder; Red Snapper remain open through December 31st!

The red snapper season is back, and the bite is expected to be red hot as these fish have
had a nice break. For larger fish, focus on big baits like strips of bonita or large live bait.
Use 60-80lb test line and 10/0 hooks to target trophy-sized snapper and avoid the
smaller ones.

Scamp Grouper and Mutton Snapper
Scamp grouper are showing up consistently on threadfins and live pinfish, offering a
great opportunity to target these delectable fish. Additionally, mutton snapper are
biting well, adding an exciting challenge to offshore trips.

Mangrove and Yellowtail Snapper Madness
The mangrove snapper bite offshore remains stellar, with larger fish hitting live pinfish
while smaller ones respond well to cut threadfins. Meanwhile, yellowtail snapper are
prolific, biting readily on cut threadfin and squid during mangrove sessions.

Hogfish Action Continues Strong
The hogfish bite has been fantastic, especially on our 10-hour all-day trips and private
charters. These prized fish love live shrimp and are best targeted using 3-4/0 hooks,
30lb leaders, and 2oz weights. Look for them near smaller structures and shell bottom
close to ledges.

Snook on the Move
The snook migration is well underway as these fish retreat to the upper and back bay areas for the cooler months!

Redfish Action is Hot
The redfish bite continues to impress, with small to medium-sized redfish being
especially aggressive. To locate these fish, look for mullet schools on the flats, around
oyster bars, or near islands

Trout Action Picking Up
As water temperatures cool, we’re seeing larger trout showing up more frequently.

Hopefully we will see you out on the water!!
Have a great Sunday!

Don’t forget tonight’s live show!! 7:30pm! Win free trips and come out and join us!

Wilson Hubbard was born in memphis, and came to the Suncoast with his parents while traveling with a carnival in 1928. They Settled at Pass-a-Grille, a tiny waterfront community boasting 162 residents, a policeman and a bootlegger. Young Wilson prospered, catching and selling fish from a Pass-a-Grille pier (which is now “The Merry Pier” on eighth avenue).

When he was 17, he bought five rowboats and 40 cane poles from the concessionaire for $150. He bought his first charter boat after the war, and in 1954 established the first gulf coast half-day fishing party boat. In 1956 he began a marathon 18 hour fishing trip for hard-core anglers, and in 1971, he established overnight weekend trips to far offshore fishing grounds.

he Eighth Avenue Pier became known as Hubbard’s Pier, until Wilson moved his operation to John’s Pass in 1976. Wilson Hubbard fulfilled another vision in 1979, with the opening of the friendly Fisherman Seafood Restaurant, which still serves the freshest seafood available.

Party boat or private charter boat patrons can also enjoy eating their own “catch of the day” cooked at the Friendly Fisherman REstaurant for only $8.95 including “All the fixin’s”

A true visionary, Wilson Hubbard was instrumental in the building and development of John’s Pass Village and the Boardwalk. In 2004, the second generation of the Hubbard family took over ownership of Hubbard’s Marina fishing operations, with Mark Hubbard as president and General manager.

Mark Hubbard’s Sea Adventures - Wilson’s Youngest son, Mark, established Hubbard’s Sea Adventures, a Dolphin-Watching Nature Cruise operation that offers narrated tours of the local environments, wildlife, and history. Wild pods of bottlenose dolphin, and endangered seabirds in mangrove island rookeries are now observed from a respectful distance, and hunted only with a camera.

Mark’s commitment to environmental education prompted him to create a new, more in-depth nature cruise of Upper Boca Ceiga Bay Estuary. Visited by many Pinellas County school children annually, Hubbard’s floating classroom, Environmental Explorer, enables students to observe native wildlife in its natural habitat, explore and understand wetland environments, and discuss current environmental issues with the ship’s on-board naturalist.

Mark Hubbard, like his father, likes to keep one foot in the future. A forward-looking company, Sea Adventures was merged with Hubbard’s Marina in 2004. It maintains a staff naturalist, updates cruise narration regularly to include current research, and encourages staff and visitors to make comments or suggestions on ways to improve the company and it’s cruises.

Mark Hubbard also took ownership of Hubbard’s Marina fishing operations in 2006 and has expanded operations by now offering a fleet of custom built private charter fishing vessels that offer a myriad of differing options for any sized group! Hubbard’s Marina currently can offer any type of private charter fishing from 2 inches of water out to 1,000 foot of water. Whatever type of fishing you want to do on the west coast of Florida Hubbard’s Marina is a one stop shop!

In addition to the new private charter options, Capt Mark Hubbard has added longer more advanced long range party boat fishing options like our 44 hour full moon fishing trip and the special 63 hour long range deep drop and pelagic fishing trip that offers an opportunity to fish 400 to 1,000 foot of water with electric reels.
