Another fabulous day this summer time thing is really something special right now! We had some bait leftover from yesterday and I did catch a handful on the way out. We didn’t leave until 7 I couldn’t get ahold of my people ahead of time they were coming from overseas. But it didn’t stop us we got on the tarpon early and first bait out we had one on within a few minutes! We ended up going 4 for 5 on tarpon in about 2 hours. The tide quit and we decided to try some other things. We chummed up some live baits and then we had some good fishing for snook with a few redfish, trout, and jacks mixed in. A phenomenal day with multiple SLAMS (redfish, snook, tarpon). 4 for 5

6/16/15 June Florida Keys Tarpon Fishing Report
Well after a couple days off I was back at it again today. We caught bait early and whacked em good plenty of bait for the day in one throw! We set up in some channels with the falling tide and it was fairly calm. Saw a few fish roll but they weren’t super happy. Eventually we got our bite and landed a nice 55 lb tarpon. We sat for a while longer and the grass was pretty bad making it semi-tough to fish. Eventually we hooked another fish and got him to the boat on the leader before he jumped off. After that I decided to move and we ran out to the beaches looking for fish. We found a good pack and caught one on the tide change. After that it was game on with the start of the incoming tide we caught 4 more tarpon in about 2 1/2 hours! Crazy bite everything that hit the water plus several sharks too. We ended up landing all 7 bites we had which is my best day this year! 4 tarpon to the hand, and the other 3 we got next to the boat before they jumped and threw the hook but technical releases! Jack and Jay had a blast and tarpon was what they were down here to catch. Summer time fishing is as good as it gets right now and July and August can be very good too, sometimes better than the ‘prime time’ of March thru May plus you get the fishery all to yourself sometimes like we did today. Look me up I have dates open in July! 7 for 7
6/13/15 More Great June Tarpon Fishing in the Florida Everglades
Fishing was good again today I had plenty of bait leftover from yesterday. We left out early and fished close to start. Hooked a big 150 lb tarpon though unfortunately he got under the boat and we weren’t able to get the rod out and around the bow quickly enough before the line caught on something and snapped. After that we ran in the backcountry to regroup and fish. We got in the tarpon good and hooked up fairly quick. We ended up catching 4 out of another 6 bites there plus several different kinds of sharks! It was fantastic fishing. By 11:00 it was pretty much over we tried a couple other spots and just a couple more sharks bites was all. But good fishing back there with the start of the incoming tide early. I have tomorrow off and was cancelled for Monday so I may have two days off – going to relax I need a break! Though it is tough when I know fishing has been this good 🙂 4 for 7
