Early in the week we had some pretty good weather that allowed us to get off the beach and chase the tarpon and play with some Blacktip sharks. Topwater and live bait both worked on the sharks and we caught a few tarpon on live bait as the sharks were thick and hard to get the tarpon to eat. The inshore bite was pretty good with a few snook and plenty of trout, jacks, bluefish and a few pompano. Snook were eating live bait most of the time but we still managed a few on soft plastics but mostly smaller fish. Winds picked up later in the week and the bite got tougher as it does this time of the year with daily changes in weather conditions and wind direction.

This week the winds are high with a few fronts but the bait has been around pretty good and the rain will push more bait out of the creeks and into the lagoon which should help the bite when the temperatures stabilize.
