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!
