Dolphin/Mahi have slowed down just a bit but still big fish mixed in the catch---as you will see.
The Blackfin Tuna, Bonita, Amberjack and Tripletail are still being caught with a smattering of Nice size Wahoo also when they find a nice piece of debris.
On the reef the Yellotail are still biting and should get even better with the next moon.
Should you look around deeper in the 140-180 depth there have been vermillion snappers, a few groupers and muttons mixed.
This weekend there are are number of tournments happening and if you are going Dolphin fishing leave early beat the crowds for best results!
Got a few nice on the wayer Pics to share thanks to the Charterboat Captains on the PCI dock!

CRAZY! WELCOME to TARPON
FISHING
Tarpon is a word for the present...they are here
"bigtime". Big smiles, sore arms and heart pounding out of your chest is what
you can expect. The Silver King never dissapoints. Jaw dropping jumps, drag
screaming runs. This is the fish of a lifetime. These are prehistoric wonders
of the fish world. If you haven't experienced the awesome fight of a
tarpon...you need to put it on your priority list of "Must Things to
Do".
The migratory tarpon are the ones here now. The
average size is about 100-150 pounds with some of the monsters getting up to 200
plus. They're migration brings them back to the Keys every Spring/early Summer
to spawn . After the spawn they spread out and move up the coastline. Then in
the Fall they school up again and start to migrate out to the warmer waters of
the Gulf and into the Caribbean. The Spring migration into the Keys usually
starts in March and the peak time to catch the biggest ones is from mid-April
through June. They're usually finished spawning by the end of June ..but I
still have caught these big ones into early July. There's always a few
stragglers hanging around throughout the year but the majority of the migratory
fish follow the pre-described pattern.
Baby tarpon are present in and around the Keys all
year. They range in size from just a few pounds up to about 40 pounds. We've
been catching some baby tarpon in the backcoutry on medium/light spinning gear.
There are some areas where they can be more prevalent.. but for the most part
you never know when you could hook-up with a baby silver king.
Our World renowned fishery is unmatched anywhere
for it's diversity. Snook, redfish, tarpon, bonefish, permit, pompano, snapper,
trout, black drum, sharks, grouper, mackerel, jacks, ladyfish ...and the list
goes on and on......
The summer months will sizzle with a variety of
offerings. I offer eveing tarpon trips through June that will produce more of
the monster Silver King tarpon. The backcountry will be cooking with snook,
reds, trout, snapper, baby tarpon, sharks and a host of others. There's always
something biting...so give me a shout and let's go fishing!
