The Tarpon are here, in the last 2 days we have hooked 6. Large seaturtles and The greatSpotted Eagle Rays are running the beach add Tarpon breaching and it is a great trip. Have not done much for Bay fishing this week. But have been listening to the drag scream for hours, I hear it in my sleep. Explains why I am waking up with a smile..lol.. If you do not know, these fish are 5 to 7 ft long, 80 to 150 lbs. of silver jumping fighting fish. They break the surface to gulp air. We also have the Snook on the beaches and redfish on the flats.. It is just a amazing trip…

May fishing report

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

It has started out as a great month, in one 4 hour trips we did over a dozen snook, throw some redfish and spotted seatrout in the pot with it. All the capt. agree non of us have ever seen the amount of small sharks in the bay right now, they do not want anything to do with people, but provide a great fight on light tackle. We are getting kings off the beach, the schools of jacks are comin in, pound for pound, one of the hardest inshore fighters around. Spotted sea trout over 4 pounds are nothing big, some trout have been over 7 pounds. sheepshead, Pompano, Spanish Macks so big they look like small kings. And do not even get me started about the TARPON, weee doggy, Here comes the kings, just put new line on my tarpon rigs, nothing like 300 yards of 50 pound line screaming off a reel and a 100 plus pound fish jumping wildly… But also we get the Big jacks, 15 ,20 pounders on the beach, mix some 15 pound bonitas and you have a party. Just add something for them to eat.. Getting so excited talking about whats going on, if I was not in my pajamas and it being dark, I would go fishing…. Heck with it, the fish do not care what I am wearing and the boat is already hooked up. Hope this sends the first time, I am not waiting around to see it does…… Gone fishing……

Fishing is so hot right now, it is time.

The time is now, we are having such great days fishing.. Pompano, spotted seatrout, bluefish, spanish macks, Redfish, the bigboys are comin, Tarpon and the ever great fighter Bonita both of these fish are 200 plus yard line rippers..The drags scream for mercy with these boys show up.. The reds are starting to school up. The white bait is in, the flats are getting hot with reds and snook, Great topwater explosions from the white bait action. This weekend is my first 2 days off together in a month. So many great smiles, sore arms, and “who just let out that girlie scream?” tho very few ever fess up to it. It is all so much fun. Is a great adventure for the kids, Turtles, dolphins, manatees. So funny to see a young one sit down after a fight and rub there arm and talk about how big the fish was..lol.. Temps in the 80s, give me a call lets go fishing….
