Great Week Of Action

Busy is all I can say. Fishing for Tarpon has been up and down. At the end of the week a hard cold front pushed thru shutting down the Tarpon bite for a few days. We had great fishing all week though releasing 2 to 5 Tarpon a day.

One of the highlights was finding a school of 300 or more Redfish on the flats and catching doubles and triples until we lost them in deeper water. Another highlight was a big Black Grouper caught by Rick Evans.

So many nice Tarpon bites this week until the North Wind came through. Sharks, Snook and Trout and Ladyfish made a couple days for us. Hopefully the wind will get back in an easterly direction. Here are pics of the last few days.
