We are in the thick of tarpon season here in Islamorada, Florida. The weather the last week has been flat calm and
look to hold for a little while longer. This has encouraged thousands of tarpon to push in from the gulf to all the
usual areas from the everglades to locally around Islamorada. Fishing has been stellar this week there has been
good bait around and tarpon have been active every day this last week. We've been fishing a lot of live mullet and
the bites have been epic to watch. A large mullet fleeing for his life as a 100 lb fish tries to eat him is truly
something to witness! We've also had great fishing in other areas. The gulf has been loaded with tripletail we had
three really good days of that last week, with a handful of keeper size ones for dinner. Today we had our limit of
hogfish out on the patch reefs after we had good tarpon action first thing in the morning. A great way to end a
half day trip. The bay fishing for snapper and trout has also been excellent and great opportunites for snook and
redfish on the flats if your into sight fishing. As we get into April that is usually what we consider 'prime' bait
fishing time for tarpon and that lasts through May. Summer time is very good too though we often start fishing
different baits and different styles. The 2015 islamorada tarpon season is heating up fast get on down here if you
have the opportunity!
