Trip Summary

The water is heating up and so is the fishing. Snook, Redfish, and Speckled Sea Trout are thick in many areas and there are lots of bigger fish. Tarpon fishing is starting to pick up as we move into May and June the bite will get better by the day. I am still consitently catching Sheepshead amd Flounder with mixed in Mangrove Snapper and Small Groupers coming up as well.

Were catching nice 60-100lb fish on the beach during the day. Fishing the Bridges at Night has been unbelievable, hooking several 100-150lb fish everytime the tide is right. Contact me soon to book your Tarpon Trip!

Speckled Sea Trout Fishing remains on fire with some really large fish still smoking paddletails and flies on the flats. Tarpon season is in Full Swing. On my night trip last week we hooked 8 fish over 100lbs. Easier targets like Gag Grouper, Spanish Mackeral, Sheepshead, and Mangrove Snapper are coming up frequently. Snook Fishing is still fantastic, and they will not refuse a well casted Fly or Soft Plastic. Contact me to talk about a trip or book today!
