SPRING TIME FISHING REPORT
espite lots of North winds the Tarpon are making a good showing. Been hooking up on some big fish most every time out. This morning we hooked two big fish. Both fish were about a 100 lbs. and 6 feet long. Imagine seeing a fish of that size come to the service and eat whats on the end of your line. These fish explode jumping 10 feet out of the water.
While gray hounding and taking a hundred yards of line in seconds. Its like hooking a fright train. I’ve been fishing the flats in Key West for 46 years and these fish never ceases to amaze me. Fighting these Tarpon in shallow water on light tackle is the only way to go. Hooking these fish, there’s nothing else like it. You have to see it to believe it. Been seeing some Bone fish, Pompano, big Jacks and Cobia as well.
April through June is the best of the best fishing in Key West. Everything is popping. I have all the gear spin and fly. All the licenses. All you need to bring is what ever you care to eat and drink. I leave out pretty early. Best bite is before sun rise. I cover the ground and fish the most beautiful places where you probably won’t see another boat.
