Tampa Bay at it's finest fishing! - We had some awesome fishing last week mixed in with a lot of fun on the water. More and more fish are starting to show up for the summer time fishing. Over the past couple of weeks we have had a lot more snook and tarpon showing up in some of the a more...

Things are heating up - There's no hiding it anymore, summertime is here. I love the feeling of loading the boat at 5am while getting ready for a Tarpon Springs charter and it's 75 degrees already. Hitting the water when the sun is rising and seeing birds chasing the s more...

Wind Finally Dies Down - Finally, a few days of light winds. This certainly improved local fishing opportunities as smaller boats were able to range farther on flat water. We also had great tides this past week, particularly the falling tides of late afternoon. There was more...

Cheers for the Tarpon - He faced away from us less than 30 feet. After a low sidearm cast, Bob and I watched the prey land lightly then float down in front of the 5-foot long predator, then in a micro-second the prey disappeared into the Predator's bucket sized mouth w more...

Snook Fired up! - Last week we had several inshore trips mainly targeting Snook. Most of the anglers were kids or novices to the Snook game, but that didn't stop us from catching and releasing 10-15 fish on every 4 hour trip. The key, it seemed was loading up on white more...

Calm Days Ahead -- Probably in July - The wind continued to blow throughout much of the month making it very tough to get out in anything but an offshore boat. Every year the winds of March seem to extend deeper into spring, and blow a little harder. I guess we will have a dead flat cal more...

Tarpon fishing Boca Gand! - The fish are beginning to get back to normal now that the full moon is over. At times, fishing around a full moon is tough because the fish do a lot of feeding at night instead of the day. Mostly, we only had trouble with a few of the fish due to t more...
