Trip Summary

As we progress into the month of May the regular tourist season seems to slow down but the fishing season starts to heat up big time. The Tarpon are here in the keys in droves. I heard that two nights ago there was a worm hatch and the tarpon were going nuts. It's very difficult to hook migrating tarpon even though you might see hundreds of them. Just getting one to eat is a great day. The smaller ones are more cooperative and theres plenty of opportunities around Everglades National Park for the juveniles. The snook action is hot as can be especially around the full moons They will be in full spawning mode in June so if you want to catch a big one try booking the full moon to about 4 days after. The mullet have officially made their spring entrance and they are pretty much everywhere. This means that the fly popper bite and the topwater spook bite is pretty hot since the fish are keying in on mullet sized flies and baits. Anything that looks like a dying mullet is getting smashed. The redfish have been difficult to find they havent been tailing as much as they do in the fall but they are around hiding among the mullet in the mullet muds. We caught a few on topwaters the other day but not without a lot of searching. The bonefish fishing has been suprisingly good for this time of year. We've been catching some close to double digits and also sightfishing a few. We went 5 for 7 the other afternoon and that is a spectacular day of bonefishing in my opinion. All that to say the weather is hot right now and so is the fishing so bring your cold water and drinks and Give me a call! lets put a trip together!
