Capt Mike Mann has been fishing his whole life from Bass to Tarpon to Bones I love it all but chasing down Fat Red fish tailing in skinny water is my passion. Summer Tarpon off the beach or in the back country rock, so come get your fish on!
Once again, the trout bite still continues in the lagoon using either popping corks or pigfish. Redfish have been tailing fairly well on the grass edges, but may be a little tough to target in the thicker grass. We’ve had a slight upwelling along the beach, dropping the surf temperatures down a little bit, which is causing the tarpon to move into the river a little bit more but should be starting to stack up on the beach again as the warmer water pushes back in.
The trout bite has been strong all summer long with lots of trout over 20 inches being caught daily. We’ve started getting some small glass minnows along the beach that have been holding tarpon as well as the pogie pods.
This past week is continued to have really good tarpon bite, and a really good trout bite for those looking for red fish. You can find them tailing in the grass flats where you find clear water.
It’s July and in typical Florida fashion we’ve got light winds in the morning and heavy rain showers in the afternoon, but that also brings cooling of the water in the Mosquito Lagoon and active bait fish along the beach.
Trout fishing has continued to be very good using pigfish in the Mosquito Lagoon. The larger tarpon have shown up on the beach as well as in the river.
The trout fishing in the Mosquito Lagoon has really turned on this week with lots of trout being caught using pigfish and croakers as well as some top water first thing in the morning.
It’s that time of year where the shrimp boats tend to stack up along the beach and with them come some pretty incredible tarpon fishing as well as shark fishing.
As the Summer pattern starts to arrive, large schools of baitfish are showing up. We are seeing pogies along the beach and mullet moving up the river system. Fishing topwater baits, soft plastic jerk baits […]
We’ve had some decent tarpon fishing this week and the offshore bottom fishing has been really good too with us catching red snapper, cobia and lane snapper.
Hope everyone has a safe Memorial Day. The fishing in the lagoon for sea trout has really turned on using live pigfish or popping corks with shrimp imitations under them or live shrimp.
