Launching Them! - Prime Time! Best time of the year!
In my opinion July/August is the best time of the year to target juvenile Tarpon. This year the afternoon Florida rainy season was delayed for whatever reason. The water temps were up in the low 90's. Now that th more...

Fun-Size Tarpon - Its that time of year! Summertime silver! The bay is loaded up with small to medium size Tarpon. I refer to these tarpon as Fun-Size.

Mackerel on the Sand Bars - Big Mackerel and Ladyfish action on the sandbars just outside Captiva Pass. Tons of fun. Casting 3/4 oz. silver spoons and Kasting slabs from the bar back into the green deeper water is productive. It's not unusual to have three or four on at a time. more...
