Backcountry Fishing Reports

Mid March Inshore Fishing Report Update

It’s middle of march… fishing has been pretty good.  Tarpon is really starting to get more into full swing, however the bite has been best locally around the bridges and not as much in the backcountry.  But I’ve been fishing the backcountry more just because the bridges have been super crowded and a bit crazy with spring break etc…  We’ve also gotten into some snook the last week, plenty of trout/ladyfish on a day where we were struggling with other stuff, and a variety of sharks.  Please watch the video and subscribe to my YouTube channel for more awesome content!

End of February Inshore Fishing Report

February is wrapping up we had a decent week this last week.  We’ve had to work at the fishing a bit we had some good days though where it paid off and one that was a little tougher but caught fish every day.  Snook have still been the staple for me with the inconsistent weather patterns but tarpon are definitely starting to move in and I think that will really get rolling in march.  Hopefully we’ll have a good strong season seeing as how the early February tarpon bite was really hit & miss.  I’ll be going into tarpon mode here for the next few months anyways but you can check back reports here or on my other website islamoradatarpon.com.  But of course please subscribe to my youtube channel we’ll be posting content on there regularly!

Latest YouTube Fishing Report Video

Well a calm, warm streak at the end of January changed things up a good bit.  Lots of tarpon showed up in the gulf of mexico, and we had some good shots at cobia along with plenty of mackerel too.  Though some cold weather here over the weekend will mix it up again.  One thing about fishing – it’s always changing!  Please make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel too, appreciate it!
