Started the day with a double on Tarpon, then each got a nice snook. Saw thousands of black drum, none would eat. Ended with a huge snook and then a 28" trout.

Awesome day of catching in the Keys
Awesome day of catching in the Keys
Jun 8, 2025 Tavernier
Tim and his girls came out and had a great day of trout fishing. After loading the boat with meat we switched to scanning the mangroves for snook and reds. It was super overcast so I couldnt really see the fish till they were about 10 ft away. Saw a bunch only got one red to bite and then spit the hook. As that happened, I looked behind me and noticed a front coming up fast. Was a wet and wild ride home. But we made it minus my phone which had to be replaced.

Fished today with Eric and his boys. Started off with some really nice trout, got a red and chances at some really big snook. Ended with a huge 200+# bullshark on 20 spin. All of this in a 1/2 day. Great day with great people.
