Been a little tougher fishing this last week for tarpon. Really had to work at it a few days, but managed some bites every day and only one day did we not catch one (missed both bites). But we’ve mixed it up a little bit with snook, tripletail, juvenile goliath grouper, and some other things! As we settle into July look for the tarpon fishing to improve as weather stabilizes.

Well summer is officially here and that means it’s time for big everglades snook. When things warm up this time of year and it gets calm the snook spawn usually is on and we get a lot of fish showing up offshore and large ones at that. Really have been waiting for this all year as we had an epic year last year in the summer and fall with them. Today was the day I happened to have a cancellation so my dad wanted to go along with our good friends Dave and his son Jack. We caught fish almost everywhere we went. Not big numbers but just 1 or 2 good solid bites off each spot. Snook in the 10-15 lb range, with a few in the 20 lb range and one that was probably 25 lbs! I think we got 8 big ones in total ranging from 15 to 25 lbs. We also had a big black drum get eaten by a shark unfortunately and caught a bunch of smaller snook too when we tried a spot. Just an epic day and like I said we’ve been waiting for a while for this to get good and today was the day. We had a nice light northeast breeze and over cast all day so really about as good of conditions as you could ask for and that set them off. We’re usually happy to catch 1 or 2 nice snook like this in a day but we were lucky today. But now through October chances of catching good snook are pretty good.

Here is my fishing report for the last week on YouTube. Now that I’m fishing again regularly I’m probably not going to have as much time to make videos. But I’m going to try and throw together a compilation like this once a week with clips from the weeks fishing… something I don’t have to take a ton of time editing. So check it out and make sure to subscribe to the channel to see more!

This was an awesome day and the video really showcases what bridge fishing can be like… very hectic place sometimes trying to chase these fish in wind and current.
