tarpon

Had a great week of fishing inshore and off the beach. The warm temps have increased the water temperature to the low-mid 70s and the snook and trout became more active. Live bait is best for snook and the trout will eat both artificial and live bait. The water is very clear so the fish are wary and long casts are important. The clean water has made the inlet fishing tough this week.

Beach fishing has been fantastic. A lot of mackerel, bluefish and jacks in the trough and some spinner and blacktip sharks following the macs and blues. There have also been a few schools of tarpon around the bait pods along the beaches. Live bait has been working on the tarpon but if you can put in the time, DOA Baitbusters will work as well. This week’s weather is looking favorable with light winds and warm temps and the fishing should continue to be good.
