Megalops Atlanticus aka Tarpon! People from all over the world come down to get a chance to pull on a big silver king. Some people prefer to fly fish for ocean cruising fish, or laid up fish in the backcountry, and others rather catch them on bait. It really doesn’t matter how you catch them, they are one of the most exciting fish to catch on any tackle.

I’ve been fishing from Biscayne Bay to the upper Keys, to Florida Bay chasing tarpon for the past several weeks now. The tarpon fishing has been pretty consistent for the month of April and it’s only going to get better with May and June around the corner. This is prime time for migrating fish.

Government cut still has plenty of fish in it and allot of my evening trips have been chasing tarpon in the cut. It’s been very warm the past couple of weeks and this has pushed out some fish to move south, and this has given us plenty of opportunities to fly fish for them on the ocean side flats in Biscayne Bay. Islamorada has been very consistent and that’s where I’m going to be for the next couple of day’s chasing tarpon.

Now is the time to get out their and chase some poons. If you interested in booking a trip I have some day’s open in May and June due to some cancellations. I will be offering some special package rates for more than three day’s of fishing. Give me a call for more details and availability.

With the weather starting to warm up this can only mean one thing, Tarpon, Tarpon, and more Tarpon. The migrating tarpon have started to show in Biscayne Bay with the warm weather we’ve been having. It’s still not in full affect yet, but I’ve been seeing several schools while bonefishing the ocean side flats. In about two weeks it should be in full swing. The early morning tarpon fishing in Miami’s Government Cut and late evening has been excellent as long as the wind is not blowing too hard.

Bonefishing has remained strong and only going to get better. It’s been a little breezy, but with clear sunny skies the fish has been easy to spot in the deeper water. Most of the fish have been caught in 2 to 4 feet and mudding really well.

The permit fishing has slowed down a bit due to them spawning off shore, but there still day’s where we’ve had plenty of shots while bone fishing.

Now is the time to book a trip because the tarpon are here and the bone fishing is on fire.
