Fishing Reports by Capt. Larry Pentel

Fall Bonus Fishing - Too blowy to be fun today but the fishing has been as good as the weather the past 10 days. Lots (and lots) of Red Snappers around, probably as good a bite as I have ever seen. Plenty of fish in the 6-8# class if you run a bait big enough to slow more...

Back to the Beach ! - After being gone to Yankee Land for over a week I am happy to be back at the beach catchin' fish. My trip to Maine was fun, had beautiful scenery and it was nice to visit with my daughter. I have never seen so much pretty water with NO fish in it more...

Great Hurricane Fishin' - My last report I said the bite should just get better as the fish calmed down from Gustav. I got lucky and nailed it! The fishing was as good as it gets until the surf came up again from Ike. The surge and swell from Ike is even bigger here than Gust more...

A Little Surf- A Lot Of Fish! - Lots of fish, weather and hype by the weather channel since my last report. Here's the Readers Digest version -- The surf finally came up Sunday evening (late) from Fay and it rained Monday- long after TWC circus had left town. Things lay down and more...

Full box- Kings are better! - As always, I'm writing a fishing report on a weather day. The remanants of T.S. Faye are drizzlin' down outside and the weather channel has made yet another normal summer occurence into a major motion picture. Oh well. I guess they have to talk about more...

Back to the Beach - I got back to Seagrove from Indian Pass yesterday evening. I had planned to stay almost a week longer but the weather had been horrible for 2 days and as rough as it was I figured the tarpon bite would be off for a while. How rough was it? Well, St more...

Big Tarpon Back In Action - After my last report the fishing went along just great with us putting at least 1 fish in the air every day I had a tarpon trip and averaging over 1 a day to the boat. Then hurricane Dolly kicked up the surf last Tues. and the Tarpon shut down. Not s more...

Tarpon and Tripletails - I have been here at Indian Pass for 2 weeks now and the fishing has been fantastic. The weather has had us running from the thunderbumpers a little but we haven't lost a day (or a fish) to the squalls yet--. The Tarpon are here !! All sizes from 7 more...

Tarpon Beware! - Today is my last day in Seagrove for 7 weeks! I'm off 1st thing in the AM to Indian Pass for Tarpon season. The reports from over there have been real good and I'm chompin' at the bit to launch some fish as big (or bigger) than I am. The fishing more...

Everything but Marlin - The weather has turned to full on summer but the fishing is still as hot as the air. The King bite remains as good most days as it ever gets and there are still quite a few pelagics up in close to the beach. I ran 2 dads and 2 boys who had never b more...
