4/25/13 More great tarpon fishing in the florida keys!
Today we hung close to home. Crushed the mullets in the morning and fished the local channels, stayed in one channel all day. We caught 4 out of 8 fish that we got hooks in. We also had another dozen or so ‘cheap shots.’ This is where a tarpon busts a mullet but misses it. Sometimes they seem more or less like they are just playing with the bait, other times they really are trying to eat it but just don’t get it. Anyways it is all part of the excitement of catching big tarpon in islamorada. The tarpon fishing with mullet in islamorada is on fire right now, so many fish being caught and lots of big boys all over the place. Yesterday we just tarpon fished for a little while, we did catch one. We also caught a big goliath grouper, several sharks, redfish, snook, and more that day too to mix things up a bit. Anyways after 5 days of fishing that makes 13 tarpon to the boat, average size 80 lbs, plus lots of other things for my UK anglers. Great tarpon fishing in april here in Islamorada.

4/23/13 Morning tarpon fishing islamorada in april.
Spent the day tarpon fishing islamorada again today. Here is my islamorada tarpon fishing report for april 23 2013. The mullet were thick this AM, found several big balls, made one throw and had a well full plus several dead from the previous day. We caught 2 out of 3 fish early in the day around ‘downtown islamorada.’ All on fresh dead mullet. This was on the incoming tide and when it started to die and the sun rose, the fishing slowed. We moved down to channel 2, not much action there several nurse sharks but did get a big cuda on a live mullet which was an exciting bite. Tried channel 5 bridge next, lots of fish there we finally got one to eat again on the bottom. However he pulled us into some underwater structure and broke us off. And again lots more nurse sharks and sting rays, no action on the live surface baits. Anyways 2 out of 4 is still fine by me for big tarpon in the florida keys!
