Summer in here! Say hello to rising temperatures and hot fishing.
The past few weeks have been great with a lot of good action on
snook, redfish, tarpon, cobia, and more. I’ve been able to get a lot
of my good clients on some great fishing the past few weeks. We have
caught some big snook measuring up top 40 inches and weighting 20
pounds, and some others in the 12 to 15 pound range. These are some
of the biggest snook that we get here on the flats. If you hook a
snook of this size on light spinning tackle and you are not in the
right place , you will have no chance. These fish will take you into
any obstruction they can find, so if you are clear from structure
you have a chance. This was the case for Ryan and his 20 pound
fish. I was sure he had hooked a big jack when the fish peeled out
50 yards of drag without stopping . Then I started to wonder when
the fish turned around and started coming back to the boat. We saw
the tail break the surface and we all new it was a monster snook.
Check out the picture.
Big reds are around too. Mike McCarthy landed this nice fish at the
end of our half day trip. The next day , he caught his first tarpon
that was one of the first for our season. We caught 2 nice tarpon
that day. The action on tarpon will get better and better as the
summer moves in. Get out and catch a big one. Tight lines from Capt.
