Went back into the everglades today my customers wanted to fish back there instead around the bridges and local areas. It was a slow start we did have some shark action including a little baby hammerhead though tarpon were not to be found. We tried 3 different spots and never saw the first one. The water actually was fairly pretty with a nice incoming tide and a light west wind behind it. Perhaps the strange westerly wind combined with the heat had pushed them out of those areas. Anyways we ran to one last place in the afternoon and we found them finally. We managed to go 3 for 3 on nice tarpon, one 35 lber and the other two were 80 lbs. Great way to finish the day and I have the same guys tomorrow so we’ll likely be back there again. 3 for 3

4/26/15 Half Day Tarpon Fishing Florida Keys
Had Darrell and Todd out for the last morning today. We cut it to a half day since they had to get to the airport. Bait was a little tougher this morning. Didn’t see much early though we found some on the way back and got a good crack on them. We fished around town locally had 1 bite right off the bat and got him up near the boat and had wind on leader on our rod, but then he jumped off. So a long distance release. We had a couple cheap shots after that and then it quieted down. A couple other boats around us had hooked up but not crazy action. We went down to another bridge and lots of boats were sitting and waiting. We tried for a bit then ran back into the bay to another spot. We put baits out and hooked a nice 60 lb fish we fought for a little while and landed. That was about it we headed in around 10:30 so they could catch their flight. So a little slower than the last couple days but overall they still had stellar fishing. 2 for 2
4/25/15 End of April Tarpon Fishing Report
Had Todd and Darrell again today. We stuck it out for the whole day. Caught mullet good early this morning. Fished around town we had falling tide most all of the morning. We caught one big fish right off the bat on the bayside. A nice 110 lb fish for Darrell his biggest tarpon yet. Ate a nice live mullet off the surface. After that we ran down to the bridges again. Fishing wasn’t as insane as yesterday but was pretty good for us. No action on live baits but we got some bites on dead bait and went 2 for 5 down there. After the tide quit we came back up the road to some ocean side spots I hadn’t fished in a while. Lots of fish out there but unfortunately they beat us up. We had 5 bites on live bait and just missed all 5 of them for no good reason. Though we landed 3 fish for the day and still nice to have action all throughout the day at every spot. 3 for 11
