Well yesterday we had some slick calm weather, and today the wind kicked up in the morning but got slick calm later in the day. Tarpon showed up in some spots! We weren’t really fishing for them but did see a good number while we were hitting some snook in the creeks. We ended up catching one in here on a jig and pilchard! Snook fishing was really good too. Later in the day we found some tarpon up in the skinny water in an area where we were catching some snook and redfish. I got the rods rigged for tarpon. We floated some shrimp back to them and they were happy! We ended up catching a couple more, and jumped off two others. Yes even in November we still can catch tarpon here in Islamorada, and when it gets slick calm like this, it can be just as good as the best times of year. I think Friday I have some customers looking to catch some tarpon, so hopefully they’ll stick around. Otherwise I have plenty of openings in early December, if it stays fairly warm like this it can be worth a shot. But the snook and redfish fishing has been stellar so it’s hard to pass that up. Regardless, if you want to go fishing give me a shout! 3 for 5
