Over the past few weeks we have had a lot of high winds and late cold fronts to deal with, but that has only slowed things down a little. We have had more that a fair share of good days. The norm this time of the year is to have a diverse fishery and that has been the case. On recent charters we have caught many species....Snook, Trout, Redfish, Spanish and King Mackerel, Grouper, Snapper, Shark, and Tarpon to name more that a few. I expect this will continue over the next few weeks. With Snook season closing on April 30th there will be less focus on them and more focus on other species. Tarpon fishing is going to get better everyday thru June. Call or email us soon to book the best tides to target these world class gamefish.
