July 2013

Well despite horrible looking weather coming in late this afternoon we made it out this evening for a july night tarpon fishing in islamorada trip.  We had plenty of fresh dead mullet from the other day plus a few live ladyfish and crabs.  The mullets did the trick though we went 2 for 2 dead baiting close to home, nice fish of 75 lbs.  I had Jeff Cox long time barn customer of Bud n Marys who actually had never caught a tarpon so he was very excited to not only get one but two!  We had incoming tide most of the evening though it did switch around 7:30, strange tide this morning it fell for almost 8 hours.

Well a good start to July for us.  It was very windy today 15-20 mph, and threating weather for the last part of the day though we never got wet.  We mashed the mullet this morning, 1 throw caught a cooler full which was nice.  We ran right to where we did well july tarpon fishing islamorada the day before.  The bite was not red hot like it was though different tide.  We did have one tarpon on for a while we lost plus caught a blacktip. Then decided to do stuff with the little rods which was good lots of trout, and some nice black drum around some islands.  Went back to try again later on the start of the falling tide.  Caught a nice 70 lb fish in the first 10 minutes, plus a lemon shark, and then that was it.  Tried around town as we did run from some weather, but no more luck.  Still a great way to start our july florida keys fishing for tarpon.
