tarpon inshore

Full-sized tarpon have invaded our local lagoon waters over the past few weeks. Look for these fish rolling on the surface gulping air or crashing schools of pilchards and mullet near dredge holes and bridge pilings. Free-line a live mullet, pilchard, pogie, or ladyfish in the area where this action is taking place and you should get a reaction from the tarpon fairly quickly.

If you’re not ready to tangle with fish in the 50 to 125 pound range, cast Saltwater Assassin 4-inch shrimp around mangroves with good overhanging roots or branches. Under these you will find snook, redfish, and decent sized speckled trout. Live shrimp or small bait fish are good options during the mid morning through mid afternoon periods.

We only have a couple of days open through the end of this month but if you would like to book a trip with Captain Justin or myself please call us at 321-505-8217. Let’s go catch your next memory!!
