7/13/16 July Islamorada Tarpon Fishing Report

Good fishing again today for Randy and Pat here from Texas.  We found some tarpon in the channels where we had caught one yesterday.  First stop didn’t produce much but a few sharks, the second though the tarpon were biting.  We got one to the boat for pictures, another we got a technical release on as he jumped off next to the boat, and had a couple others spit the hook on the bite.  We broke it up a little mid day and caught some trout and a few more mullet for bait.  Hope the fishing holds up!  At it again tomorrow, I do have some days open near the end of the month if anyone is looking to go.  July is a great time of year to fish!  2 for 4

7/12/16 July Tarpon Fishing in the Everglades

Got after the tarpon again today.  We found them in the backcountry channels.  Not tons of fish, never even saw one roll.  But we caught one right off the bat plus plenty of sharks and a big sawfish.  Then after that we moved channels and saw someone fighting a tarpon.  We were heading to that general area so I set up and within another 5 minutes we had another good size tarpon on.  Anyways was glad to get a couple!  We finished the day catching a few trout whilst getting pilchards for snook.  Then we caught a handful of snook to finish the day.  2 for 2

7/11/16 Florida Keys Tarpon Fishing in July

Back at it again today the fish were more cooperative.  We found some tarpon in the morning where we had seen them yesterday.  While yesterday they didn’t really bite, today they did.  We caught two and were plenty happy with that!  Also a few sharks and finished the day up with a handful of snook.  Great day hopefully it will get a little better.  Just not a ton of fish around but I think when the wind lays down again they will show back up in force.  2 for 2
