Shark Attacks In Boca Grande
Tarpon Fishing Around Sanibel
Well to start off with, there was an absolutely enormous hammerhead caught this weekend. This is the biggest one I've ever seen. I don't know if I could've done it though myself, I hate to see one this big get basically murdered and for what? When they get this big they are the breeders. They are what keeps the stocks in place. It's not like you're gonna eat it or anything so why kill it? The fun is supposed to be in the catch, not the kill. Take a video camera next time and record it, then it'll last forever, plus you could get like replica jaws made to match based on estimates, who cares if there not real, the memory will last, but this fish won't be able to put it's obviously superior genes back in to the breeding pool. Oh well, I digress. The winds are laying down now ...
Deep Sea Fishing for Permit
When the bonefish can be found in large groups it's clear that it is spring time in Key West. During this season permit look to escape off the flats as they rush to the ocean to begin breeding. Even on the best days of South Florida fishing for permit you will never see as many fish as you will in the ocean this time of year. Fish flock by the thousands on rock piles. They are literally stacked up on top of each other. These fish can be very complicated to feast on the flats and they can still be demanding to feast in the deep waters, but the volume that you will find offshore nearly guarantees you will uncover a famished one. Once the rods bowed, its no piece of cake to get that fish to the skiff. The rock piles that they are holding on yields as ...
Weekend Fishing Forecast
SURF: Frigid water temps are maintaining whiting catches up, but look for them to slow down as temperatures get warmer. Sand fleas, shrimp or similar tackle will likely work best. Home in on the spots along the Canaveral National Seashore as well as the ocean side of the north jetties at Sebastian Inlet. Bluefish continue to be a fundamental target for about all fisherman, mainly when using reeking bloody baits like cut menhaden. At first light could start being positive for snook, redfish, tarpon and spinner sharks as the fish begin swimming into the reefs attempting to locate menhaden. Fresh baits work excellent, but it's also a chance to take them on artificials like the MirrOlure MirrOmullet Luminescence Series 16MR. OFFSHORE: It looks like the weathermen are planning for fishable conditions with southeasterly winds. If that's the circumstance, be expecting some of the good dolphin fishing of last weekend to continue. Water conditions ...
Tarpon Fishing Is Heating Up
Tarpon Fishing has been productive now for the past month in the Boca Grande area. Even though the fishing conditions has been not quite helpful to say the slightest. I have fished more up Charlotte Harbor over the past month than any point in my profession. With several days spent a few miles up the canal. The technique has been to discover free jumping tarpon and arrange deep drifts where they were found. By and large uncovering the loads of bait and feathered friends and putting that in concert with a moving tarpon would result in a couple of hookups per day. Believe me when I tell you it takes a lot of rational stamina to fish all day for a couple of runs. There has been a massive wad of tarpon numbering approximately 3000 that have been in and out of the pass. A mixture of factors together with ...
