Tarpon fishing is starting off with a bang!!! The new moon tides proved to be very good on the slower portions.  Most guides fished heavily around the passes this week.  We started to see some migrating fish showing up on our beach front, and these fish are opportunistic, and not relegated to feed on tide flow.  Great opportunity to sneak in some quick bites!!!  It's a fantastic time to fish in south west Florida!!!

The week started out on an absolute high note with that super moon on Monday.  We recorded our first "client" tarpon bite of 2021, and caught the "Grand Slam" plus 2 keeper cobia.  We were able to successfully produce results on that same trend for a second day in a row on Tuesday.  Wednesday the tide slowed and the Tarpon fishing got difficult us. As the week progressed, we saw that the fishing tailed off a bit.  But, we still boated 250+ snook, more than 20 overslot redfish, and only the trout we needed to catch and secure the "inshore slam" ever day this week.  That being said, isn't it about time to go fishing in south west Florida?
