More great action in the everglades this july tarpon fishing! I had bait from yesterday so we got an early start and made our way into the backcountry. Had good falling tide all morning. We did very well we caught 5 nice tarpon in the 40 to 80 lb range, including a double header 30 and 50 lber! Amazing fishing and what I like to see in July. This is the most fish I’ve caught on a trip in a while and good to see. This was all in 2 hours of fishing we finished up and caught some stuff for dinner after 9:30. R.E. and Colin had a very special day fishing in the backcountry of Islamorada!
7/13/14 Florida Keys Backcountry Tarpon Fishing in July
Another great day here fishing in the florida keys this july. We started out tarpon fishing. I caught some fresh mullet on our way back. One throw and we loaded up with 4 dozen or so nice silver mullet. Went back to the channels that I’ve been fishing which have been consistent. We hooked a tarpon in the first 5 minutes. Ended up catching 3 altogether in about 2 hours, one fish was about 100 lbs good to see a big fish again! The others were 50-65 lbs. We ended the day catching a few pilchards and pinfish for bait, and used those to boat about 8 nice snook.
7/12/14 July backcountry tarpon fishing in Islamorada
Good fishing again today. Had bait already so we went right to fishing. Had a good couple hours of falling tide in the backcountry everglades in the tarpon channels. We went 3 for 3, a smaller fish, a medium 40 lber, and the last was a nice one of maybe 65 lbs. Not a bad way to start the day! Also had a couple sharks. Later in the day was tough though we managed to get a few keeper trout and some mangrove snappers for dinner. The islamorada tarpon fishing in july is staying consistent!
