The tarpon bite has been on fire. 🔥 Lots of migratory fish showing up, makes for a lot of options on where and how we can target them. Cut and live bait in the mornings, and crabs around the last full moon in the afternoon/ evenings. We have some nice mangrove snapper around if you are looking for table fare, and the snook redfish and trout have remained steady if you are looking for a fun easy catch and release bite.

Tarpon and permit fishing is on fire right now, and it’s the perfect time to get on the water. Big tarpon are rolling and feeding hard, giving you a real shot at an unforgettable fight, while nearshore permit are showing up in numbers and ready to eat.

This is prime time—these opportunities don’t last long, and the bite has been as good as it gets. If you’ve been thinking about chasing tarpon or checking a permit off the list, now’s your window.

Spots are filling fast, so don’t wait. Reach out and lock in your tarpon and permit trip while the bite is this hot.
