Fishing was good again today I had plenty of bait leftover from yesterday. We left out early and fished close to start. Hooked a big 150 lb tarpon though unfortunately he got under the boat and we weren’t able to get the rod out and around the bow quickly enough before the line caught on something and snapped. After that we ran in the backcountry to regroup and fish. We got in the tarpon good and hooked up fairly quick. We ended up catching 4 out of another 6 bites there plus several different kinds of sharks! It was fantastic fishing. By 11:00 it was pretty much over we tried a couple other spots and just a couple more sharks bites was all. But good fishing back there with the start of the incoming tide early. I have tomorrow off and was cancelled for Monday so I may have two days off – going to relax I need a break! Though it is tough when I know fishing has been this good 🙂 4 for 7
6/12/15 Everglades June Tarpon Fishing
More good tarpon action today we caught bait early and hit the channels. First stop we had the last of the outgoing tide. Saw a fish roll and we put out our baits and soon enough he was on! A small 35 lb fish but lots of fun. We caught a variety of sharks too not bad for the first hour of fishing. Once the tide quit we ran further west to catch the start of the incoming tide. We set up and soon enough we had some shark activity, then another nice tarpon of about 60 lbs. We landed him and soon after jumped another fish off, then caught another one of about the same size. Then several more nurse sharks and a big lemon shark. After that we caught a few blacktip sharks in another channel, no more tarpon action. Finished up bending the little rods with some various critters. Great day! 3 for 4
6/11/15 Islamorada Tarpon Fishing Half day in June
Got out early today and I had some leftover baits from yesterday. We had a nice northeasterly breeze that was cool and it was overcast all morning. We had the last of the incoming tide. We had a tarpon on fairly quick and caught him, then another one right before the tide quit. Both big fish in the 80 to 100 lb range. After we landed the second the tide had switched around for us nicely. We put baits back out and within 10 minutes we had a 3rd fish on, smaller guy of about 40 lbs. We landed him and that was about it for the morning. Great day 3 anglers each got to catch a tarpon on a half day, can’t complain at all about that! Nice to see the fish much happier with the wind going to a nicer direction. 3 for 3
