GIANT TARPON MAKE GRANDE APPEARANCE

Theirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr here. Yep…since we started fishing Giant Tarpon back in the 3^rd week of April, the fish have been providing my clients with those life-long sugar coated memories.

The good news is the passes; shoals, beaches, and flats are all holding fish from Boca Grande south. The bad news is the wind has been blowing unseasonably strong since the weekend and making fishing difficult, if at all.

In the passes the fish have been taking live shrimp and Cotee jigs. Live sardines and threads are getting the nod for live bait on the shoals, backcountry, beach and in particular cases… in the passes.

We don’t have a lot of fish traveling yet. The places where the fish are at this time are stacked like cordwood. When the weather permits we are jumping between 6 and 12 fish a day. In the past week we have boated fish between 60 and 170lbs. Too early??? We don’t think so.

We are still able to accommodate late bookings… for a fishing trip of a lifetime, give us a call toll free @ 1 (800) 833-0489.

Screaming drags arms tired arms!!!
