Tarpon madness!

The Marathon fishing report is showing signs of summer. Very few tarpon are still hanging around, but we’re still able to make a trip work if expectations aren’t set sky high. The sharks and barracuda have really been picking up the slack in the big fish department, providing plenty of action and some exciting battles. We’re also catching a nice mix of mangrove snapper, adding some great table fare to the day. If you’re looking to get out on the water, there’s still fish to be caught and memories to be made. Give us a call to get on the schedule before the summer pattern fully settles in!

Tarpon fishing around the bridges is still giving us opportunities at fish each trip, but it’s definitely not as consistent as it was a few weeks ago. We’ve been dealing with floating grass and scattered fish at times, so patience and putting in the time has been important lately. The next thing we’re looking forward to is the upcoming worm hatch around the bridges. Once it starts happening consistently, it usually helps get the tarpon more active and can improve the overall bite. Hopefully we’ll see things pick up over the next few weeks

Tarpon fishing is still going strong here in the Keys! The numbers have slowed down a little compared to a couple weeks ago, and the seaweed around the bridges has definitely made things challenging at times. There may be a few less fish around, but there’s also a lot less pressure and fewer people fishing for them. Overall, there are still plenty of opportunities to catch that bucket list tarpon!
