Backcountry Fishing Adventure in Sunny Tampa: Reeling in the Thrill

It was a great day out on the water with Soundarya in Tampa, Florida, as we set out on a BackCountry fishing adventure with the Cooper Company. December is a prime time for this type of fishing in the Tampa area, as the cooler weather brings the fish closer to shore, making for some exciting action.

We met up at the Tampa meeting spot around 11:30 pm and got our gear sorted out. The weather was partly cloudy, but the water conditions were excellent—perfect for targeting the inshore species we were after. We wasted no time getting our lines in the water and started working some of the backwater flats and mangrove-lined channels.

Though we didn't manage to land any big prize, we still had a great time out on the water, enjoying the scenery and good company. Soundarya was a quick learner, and we had fun trying out different techniques to draw the fish in. The bites were steady, and we had a few close calls, but in the end, the fish just weren't quite feeling cooperative.

Still, the time on the water was well worth it. There's nothing quite like a day spent casting in the Florida backcountry, taking in the sights and sounds, and getting a chance to really connect with the local fishery. If you're looking to experience some of the best BackCountry fishing that Tampa has to offer, I highly recommend booking a trip with the Cooper Company. Whether you're an experienced angler or just getting started, we'll make sure you have an unforgettable time out on the water.
