May 3 May 3
Well, its the first week in May, and the tarpon fishing is supposed to be great. I would love to lie and say it has been but that’s not our style. Don’t get me wrong, there are fish around and in good numbers but we have to work for every fish we catch. There are a few fish swimming on the ocean, but the majority of our fish and fishing is taking place in Atlantic facing basins (crowded with boats) and backcountry corners (we have them to ourselves). In the past ten days of fishing my clients have hooked 17 tarpon ranging from 50-120lb. These stats aren’t bad, but they won’t turn ay heads either. Keep poling and the fish will find you.
