Got out today after being off for a week. Was just fun fishing with dad. But we came across a nice school of tarpon in one of the backcountry creeks in the everglades. There has definitely been some around with as warm as it has been the last few weeks. I just haven’t been fishing much and the few times I have, we’ve been doing other things. Anyways as the tide came rolling in we had about 20 fish around us and we caught a nice 30 lber on a live shrimp. Didn’t get pictures of him as he pulled the hook while we had him on the leader trying to net him. But a definite catch none the less. Anyways I am fishing a few more days here, then going out of town for xmas, but then will be back for the xmas week craziness. Not sure if I will get after any more tarpon this year, but if it stays warm it is a possibility! Gimme a shout if you are looking to go! 1 for 1
11/4/16 November Florida Keys Tarpon Fishing
Still plenty of tarpon in the backcountry but they aren’t biting super great. We gave it a good try this morning, we did manage a couple bites out of them eventually after moving three times. But they didn’t want to stay on the hook for us unfortunately. We did see plenty of smaller tarpon further inland while snook fishing, but never had a response on our pilchards or shrimp. Anyways tomorrow I have a half day and sunday i’m off, so maybe if it is still right I’ll try again some next week. 0 for 2
11/3/16 November Tarpon Fishing in Islamorada
Haven’t been tarpon fishing much this week we’ve had some extreme winds and such. We have seen some fish in the canals while we were snook fishing. Today the wind laid down a bit and we were able to get out on the beach to fish in the afternoon. The tarpon were out there and we caught one fairly quickly in the last hour of our day. We also got a small one while snook fishing on a live pilchard. Anyways they may still be catch able for a while until we get a real hard cold front. May give ’em a try again tomorrow! 2 for 2
