7/9/16 July Tarpon Fishing Florida Keys

Got out with Dave and his son Joe today we had some mullet from yesterday though we caught some more on the way as we ran into some huge schools out in the gulf.  We also caught some live pilchards for bait too for later.  Anyways tarpon fishing was good we caught a double header right off the bat.  Then the sharks started getting us.  We moved around a bit and eventually found some tarpon rolling elsewhere and got another one.  Then we decided to give the snooks a try and we caught lots of them plus a juvenile goliath grouper.  Great day I have them again tomorrow!  Still have plenty of openings towards the end of July it’s a great time of year to fish.  3 for 3

7/8/16 Everglades Tarpon Fishing in July

Got out for a full day today with Cory and Sarah.  Found the mullet pretty good and we caught 50 or so baits in a couple throws.  Nice for them to be easy for a change it’s been hard to find mullet in the mornings and that in turn means more time bait fishing and less time tarpon fishing, and sometimes tough to get any at all which means having to goto plan B!  Anyways today it was easy so I was happy.  We went off the beaches and found a lot of tarpon free jumping.  Sharks were very bad we probably caught 2 dozen sharks but did get a couple tarpon bites, both of which we landed so that was good then finished the day up with some trout for dinner.  Busy week for me I am fishing the next 6 days straight will probably be mixing it up a little but for sure fishing for tarpon some too!  2 for 2

7/4/16 Everglades Tarpon Fishing in July

Went in the back to try a similar routine as yesterday.  The wind kicked up good and fishing was definitely not the same as yesterday!  We did have some decent tarpon action early though we weren’t able to keep the hooks in any of them.  We picked away and caught a handful of snook, plus a variety of other specimens throughout the day.  0 for 3
