Got out today again for a full day. We tarpon fished early and tried a few channels and around some of the bridges. Chilly with a light north breeze, unusual weather for May. Anyways the weed was horrendous at the bridges, tough to fish the live baits. There was also a tournament going on so one of them was covered in boats. We didn’t have much luck in the morning, so we went and caught our nice mangrove snappers. Then in the afternoon tried again we saw some rolling fish in one of the channels but no response. Then finally ended up getting one on a dead bait in another spot after we fished for a while and saw one roll and got in front of him. Anyways glad to have gotten another one, big 100 lb fish! 1 for 1

Hello my name is Capt. Rick Stanczyk and welcome to my website! I’m a fishing guide in the fabulous Florida Keys, Islamorada to be specific. Tarpon are the species I spend a lot of time fishing for and they are my passion. I've stepped away from full time guiding myself though I still take a handful of trips short notice. Though I have a team of young talented guides who I've been training that are available for tarpon charters, so please get in touch if you want to go fishing!
