Tampa/St. Pete Fishing
Got a possible opportunity to go down there is February for a week and was wondering what the fishing scene might be that time of year.
any suggestions are appreciated

We hired a guide a few years ago when I was there for the final four (late March). Caught a bunch of trout and some snook.

Dad,
When our son went to college at Eckerd we visited Fort Desoto Park. While I didn't fish it looked like it offers opportunities for wade fishing and has fishing piers which are open into darkness. Plus it's an absolutely beautiful park and beach. Good luck.
