The new moon had the tarpon firing off this week. The afternoon crab tides did not disappoint. We had some trips hooking fish into the double digits while other trips there were plenty of fish to go around. We still have openings for the full moon the next two weeks, don’t miss out on your chance at hooking up to the silver king!

We’ve also had a mixed bag inshore with some Cobia, giant trout and plenty of snook mixed on.

Luke B. Tarpon Springs, Florida Reported 5 days ago

Tarpon Springs fishing has been excellent this May, with warm Gulf water temperatures and strong bait activity creating ideal offshore conditions. Red grouper fishing has been very productive on hard bottom and ledges in 20-35 feet of water, while gag grouper are showing up in better numbers closer inshore around heavy structure. Live whitebait, shrimp and cut bait have all been producing well, especially during lighter current conditions and calm morning weather windows.

Hogfish action continues to be a standout this spring, with quality fish coming from nearshore hard bottom in 20–40 feet of water using shrimp on light tackle. Mangrove snapper fishing has also remained steady around reefs, rock piles, and artificial structure, with shrimp and small cut whitebait producing solid keeper catches. Overall, my anglers fishing out of Tarpon Springs are seeing strong bottom fishing opportunities and excellent variety heading into early summer.
