End of July Fishing Report

Latest fishing report from YouTube… the tarpon bite was really good the last few days.  I’m headed out of town now until Sunday, but I think it may be a good sign for August as these fish seemed settled in and we caught them several days in a row on different tides.  So if you want to fish in August it might be good!

End of June Backcountry Fishing Report

Latest Islamorada YouTube Backcountry fishing report! Have had to work at the tarpon fishing, hasn’t been easy every day but still catching them… expecting it to pick up as we get more into July. Snook fishing has been a solid backup, with some large summer spawners showing up. Tripletail action fairly solid as well!
