Sharks, Snapper, Grouper, and Tarpon - M

May is a great month to fish. The first week has been amazing. Key West offers a mixed bag this time of year, and I've been fishing almost daily. The big tarpon have been rolling, and eating live baits. We've caught half a dozen with the largest going around 150. The angler had been on twelve tarpon trips, and got his first big one. The tarpon bite has been good, and the sharks have been chewing as well. We've landed big lemon sharks, bull sharks, and black tip sharks among other species. Some smaller bonnet head sharks, and sharpnose sharks have been fun light tackle action as well. The weather is great, and the days are long, but it's worth it to land a big one. In addition to tarpon and sharks, the mangrove snapper bite at night has been very good. Targeting snapper at night allows for some time to catch juvenile tarpon and is a nice cooler experience as the temperatures rise. Goliath grouper have been big in the back country basin of the gulf. Anglers have landed 50-100lb fish, and I’m still on the quest for a couple of the bigger 300-400+ lb fish with some new heavy tackle purchased specifically for this purpose. Come land a monster grouper with me, or fight the trophy shark of a lifetime. Give me a call or message on Fishing Booker and find out more about what’s biting today.
