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!

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!

Epic day of the ‘Big Nasties’
Well had one of the best days ever last week fishing with my dad and our friend Charlie Kluck. Lots of big black drum, big snook, permit, cobia, and more! One to remember thats for sure… The best fish of the day was a 45ish lb black drum for Charlie, maybe the biggest I’ve ever seen back there. Then he followed it up with a 25ish lb snook! It was definitely his day. Also as mentioned we caught several more big black drum, some snook, and a permit and a couple small cobias. Also included in the video are some good catches from my anglers later in the week with some large redfish. January is a great time and offers some unique opportunities with the colder weather patterns. Not always like this but it can be when conditions are right, and you definitely can’t catch ’em sitting on the couch! Also please subscribe to our YouTube channel below if you want to see more.
