Here you can read our latest fishing reports. I try to keep this section updated regularly when we are tarpon fishing consistently. Though remember in the off season we may not be fishing as much or we may be targeting other things.
Alright summer time is here as we’re well into June! ‘Prime’ tarpon season seems to be over as the big numbers of migrating fish have been less and less the last couple of weeks. We’ve had overall decent fishing for resident fish however and we’re starting to transition more into backcountry tarpon fishing where many of these fish reside for the summer and fall. The bridge fishing can still be productive however you won’t see quite the numbers we had in April and May. Plus the summer time can get tricky finding bait in the morning and the seaweed can be a hassle to fish in. Evening trips for tarpon can be a good half day bet and we do a lot of local channel fishing with mahi carcasses through the summer so if you want to set something up last minute and do a shorter trip that is a good option. Capt. Luke is at the ready for a trip like that. Otherwise for the backcountry day time tarpon I typically recommend at least a 3/4 or full day trip to have the time to make the run back there. I’m gone now for the rest of June and most of July but I’ll be back late July and will start taking some trips again the last week there and in August. Drop me a line though if you want to get out with Capt. Steve or Capt. Luke here over the summer so far it’s shaping up nicely for some summer tarpon action!
