These "Trip Maps" are being built into a comprehensive set of instructions about fishing our region -- from season-to-season, species-to-species, map-to-map, and launch-to-launch. They will include places to fish from the shoreline, and places to fish so skinny only a kayak is practical. You're going to see "Fishing from Shoreline" and even maps to show "Where to Catch Mullet" which will also be partially-land-based. But overall it will be the most useful, effective, and popular (or not) collection of great places to try and catch fish in and around the West Coast of the beautiful State of Florida. These could take some time to load -- please be patient :)

The maps are changed from week-to-week, with certain exceptions -- like the Shore-based maps and the Mullet and Bait maps -- all of them will appear and disappear from time to time. Registered users will always be able to see ALL of these maps!
This is a typical "Trip Plan" that you'll find from time to time on TheOnlineFisherman.com. These reports focus on specific areas -- that might be considered highly protected by people that have fished there -- or who consider it their "honey hole". There are no secret spots. Granted, some places might be productive on a given day -- or in a given month -- and totally bare of life at another. Guides and serious amateurs use every spot like this as one -- in a day plan that's based on their scouting and looking around the day or days before. So knowing where to launch isn't like conquering the bay. That takes time -- years -- on the water. So have faith, and keep casting :)
We'll be entering lakes for our bass fishing crowd, and as the magazine evolves into regional 'versions', you will see maps like this for everywhere in the nation -- and the world -- we can collect them from. Right now the spots are -- mostly -- for the Tampa Bay area, with excellent offerings from friends (captains all) in Charlotte Harbor, Venice, and north to Tarpon Springs.
There are people who will hate the fact that these suggested trips-maps are available on the Internet -- especially here on TheOnlineFisherman.com. But when we say that professional guides don't rely on a single spot, or that maps like this have been around forever, they're just not looked at -- you can either believe us or not.
Although some of our "markers" are simply pins that say "Snook Here", others -- like this one near an outflow in Upper Tampa Bay -- contains information that's relative to any similiar spot in the bay or in bays like ours anywhere in the world. Go to Charlotte Harbor, or the bays outside Mozamique in Western Africa, and the results of fishing spots like this with the right bait (OK, lure) and with God's blessing, and you'll catch fish.
The maps will appear and disappear unless you're a registered member -- in which case we will make them all available to you as they're built and tested. Yeah, tested :) Research is an important part of our job here at The Online Fisherman !
