Backcountry Fishing Reports

Great tarpon fishing around the Bridges in Islamorada!

We had a great day this past Saturday with my first charter I’ve had in a couple weeks.  5 tarpon landed and some awesome battles around the bridges.  The Keys are reopening June 1 so start planning your summer time trip now… it’s filling up fast!  July is also still a great time to come for tarpon in the backcountry.

Epic day cathching TripleTail in Florida Bay

We had an awesome time catching tripletails a few days ago with my dad and our friend Capt. Bill Bassett.  Lots of free floaters.  We don’t normally keep this much fish, but with many hungry people to feed in town we decided to keep our limit of these great eating fish.
