MAYDAY! Where is all the bait? - This Saturday was an amazing day. I arrived at C-Span of the Sanibel Causeway at 0530. Threw and looked until 7:15. I did not see one bait go into the net of any Pro Guide. Needless to say, no bait makes tarpon fishing pretty tough. But one thing is more...

How about GiddyUp "Attitude" - Tarpon Season has enjoyed a banner week to last 10 days. As always, every single day has not been earth shaking BUT fish were in the air 7 of the 10 days. Most were on the small side for me (60-110LBS)but the aerial shows were extraordinary. If I hav more...

Windy and Unpredictable - For as long as I've been in Florida, never have I seen the Tarpon bite so difficult to predict. OK, if you are saying or thinking Same on GiddyUp, never positive, never a glowing report like all the other guides, always the same old BS news. I'm tir more...

Boca Grande to Ft Myers tarpon fishing - The past three weeks have been mostly spent hunting tarpon. It has been an excellent season so far. We have not had a day yet this month that we have not put at least two tarpon in the air. I am running two trips a day most of the time and we're more...

F-Huge Water Temp Change continues to disappoint - My last fishing report was one on the more encouraging of 2008. In comes a fhuge (new word) cold front and water temps go from 80 to 63.

Tarpon, Redfish and Snook action from Boca to Ft Myers - The fishing was excellent every day last week. This week may take a little more work since we have another cold front moving in on us today. I spent most of the week tarpon fishing and ended it by winging it for snook and redfish on the flats. more...

Kings, Porgies,Snapper, and Blue Runners Everywhere! - Monday, 4/7, after a stormy night, seas were unsettled and it was pretty rough fishing with Tom Conrad, teenaged grandson Phil Conrad and Phil's friend, Peter Walspra. It was tough finding anything worthwhile to catch, with blue runners dominating th more...
