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.

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.

    Damn good fishing trip! Capt. Ryan and First Mate Kurt delivered a great off-shore fishing experience. Well-versed in the area, Capt. Ryan knew the best spots to help us nab our limit. We even grilled up some of our fresh Snapper for Fish Tacos! Highly recommended!

    Tyson had us on fish in less than 20 minutes. He taught us his method and, following as best we could, landed big redfish, snook, catfish, and even a tarpon! His experience, expertise, and sense of humor made this trip something that exceeded our dreams! Thank you Tyson!

    Nick was very good. He seemed quite knowledgeable and was easy to talk to. Sadly the Tarpon weren't cooperating that morning. A few hits was all we had. We liked Nick and we would recommend him to anyone.

    Our trip was great! You could tell they cared about our experience being amazing. The water was beautiful and they took care of everything down to keeping our lives baited and active. The captain even prepped our fish and sent us to a local restaurant that cooked it for us. Highly recommend!
