Hit the canals off Tamiami Trail for a couple hours today w/ my sister. The recent rain has pumped up the waterways a bit...the ones we fish definitely rose a few inches. They look alot better than before the rain, but can definitely stand to come up a bit more. There were some Tarpon around, but not in numbers like last week. I missed 2 that ate right infront of me, but my sister stuck and landed a nice one approx 15lbs. We are still getting bit on the soft plastic swimbaits. The big Snook we were seeing were absent today.

About The Author: Captain Paul Wolter

Area Reporting: South Florida

Bio: Growing up and living most of my life in California's San Francisco Bay Area, I took to fishing at a young age. I started off fishing at local piers and lakes around age 10, eventually branching out into other venues and getting more and more serious about the sport as time went on. I took up flyfishing while in middle school, thus beginning a new passion. Moving to Florida in 2002 opened up a whole new world of angling to me, which I strived to learn and understand as quickly as possible. I have a lot of experience in a vast array of fishing techniques; from dropshotting for Bass in 40 feet of water, to flyfishing mountain streams, to Snook on the fly....all of which helps me to be a stronger, more accomplished angler no matter what species I am after. I pride myself in being very patient and creative on the water, and have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge and insight with others!
