Well after a nice break from Islamorada we got back in the tarpon game today.  Today we caught 1 tarpon early on, several blacktip sharks and a couple lemon sharks, and some smaller stuff.  Mullet were easy in the backcountry, though lots of rain/thunder around.  We stayed out of the bad stuff for the most part which was nice.  Many of the backcountry tarpon seem to have split I didn’t fish yesterday but did the couple days before that.  One day we fished 4 different spots and never saw a tarpon, though caught plenty of other stuff.  The day after we had lots of rain again but managed to catch some snappers for dinner, and did hook a couple tarpon near home though we lost them before heading in on our half day trip.  That day we had one eat a live crab that we casted too which was pretty cool to watch.  Anyways looks like I got fairly booked up for the rest of the month, though may have a day or two available as well as possible evenings here and there.  If you don’t mind getting sprinkled on, let’s go fishing!

Well more good flamingo tarpon fishing in July.  We caught mullet early around some of the islands.  We then ran to the honey hole channel it was holding some nice tarpon.  We went 3 for 6 in the blink of an eye, then a storm cell came near and temperature dropped and it started blowing out of the west.  Not a good thing for tarpon fishing!  The bite shut off, we did a few other things – got some sharks and a big cuda.  Then we ran back towards home and tried for the last hour on the start of the falling tide in Islamorada.  Got a nice big 100 lb fish to end the day!  If your thinking of july tarpon fishing give me a ring or email.  I’m going out of town for a few days so the tarpon will get a nice break, be back next week folks!

july flamingo tarpon

Well we dodged plenty of showers today but the fishing was well worth it.  We caught limit of trout and snappers for dinner early on for rod bending action.  We then looked around for a bit and found a lot of mullet coming off the flats near flamingo.  Plenty of smaller size mullet but perfect for the size tarpon we’ve been finding in the backcountry.  We fished one of the channels back there and it was loaded up with tarpon.  We caught 4 out of 7 in about 2 hours, plenty of smaller 30-50 lb fish though we did end with a 90 lber.  Can’t beat that!  The ladies did well today.
