As we head into July and the full heat of summertime, the water is hot, and the fishing is responding accordingly.

The bait is still small, but the mangrove snapper love it, and you never know what else is gonna eat it in the mangroves. We have chances at funsized tarpon, snook, redfish, jacks, ladyfish and the list goes on.

When we focus on big fish, we use big bait, and in the warm water, freshly cut chunks of big bait will out fish the live ones. Big snook and redfish are lazy this time of the year, and prefer...

The bait is still small, but the mangrove snapper love it, and you never know what else is gonna eat it in the mangroves. We have chances at funsized tarpon, snook, redfish, jacks, ladyfish and the list goes on.

When we focus on big fish, we use big bait, and in the warm water, freshly cut chunks of big bait will out fish the live ones. Big snook and redfish are lazy this time of the year, and prefer
to sit back in their shady mangrove lined hiding places and slurp it up!

Big sharks are all over the back country. A freshly cut bloody bait usually won't last very long in the warm waters. Toss one out, and an outrageous drag ripping battle is sure to follow suit.

Whether you want to eat fresh snapper, battle snook, reds, tarpon, or get in the ring with a big bull or lemon shark, July is ready to provide the challenge.

Summer fishing remains constant with red hot fishing! Plenty of opportunities to target multiple species in the same day from Miami down to the Florida Keys. Experience the magic and let's go fishing!

Naples Inshore Report for the first 2 weeks of June has been a been a mixture of great fishing, great eating, and refreshing rains! For anyone wanting to get a mess of fish for the table, we have been skipping shrimp and small pilchards in the mangroves for mangrove snapper. It hasn't been uncommon to get 30 fish in a trip that we could sort through for 10-15 to bring home. Redfish, snook, trout and jack crevalle are mixed in these catches.

For those fishermen into catching bigger spirtier fish, the big snook and big redfish are eating the bigger
baits, and cut baits in the mangroves, and around all the passes. There are some true trophy fish to be caught, but remember, snook are out of season, and any redfish must be under 27 inches to be a keeper.

For the pure sportsman, tarpon and sharks you d out, perhaps, the best month of the year to catch the trophy of a lifetime.

So if you wanna eaten, or just catch em, set up a trip and let's go get em!

    Trip: Islamorada Inshore And Flats Fshing

  • ★★★★★
    My dad and I were able to squeeze in on a charter with Captain Eric fairly last minute which was awesome! He got us both on some sea trout first thing in the morning, lined us up on some tarpon but before I was able to take any shots on the fly rod, we spooked a tarpon and in came the bull sharks. We buzzed over to a different flat where I had shots at both snook and redfish. I didn’t end up making any of my shots with the fly rod but this was also my first saltwater fly fishing experience as well as my first guided trip so it was all pretty new to me. I’m just stoked we were able to get out in the first place. But I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Captain Eric and I certainly wouldn’t turn down another opportunity to have him guide us! He’s quiet but very focused and knowledgeable about the marine life and was able to give me casting tips as well with the fly rods. Thank you again for squeezing us in Eric!

    Trip: Islamorada Tarpon On Fly

  • ★★★★★
    Capt. Ron was a true professional. He called me the morning of our departure to ensure we were still interested in the fishing trip since the weather was not fantastic (high winds). He provided details about the length of time to travel to/from the fishing spot and conditions while fishing. When we arrived (earlier than scheduled departure time) he was ready and willing to get started early. He put us on the fish and showed us how to cast and catch. We caught so may fish we could not take time to take pictures (except the few attached). It was an awesome experience and hope to book with Ron next time we are in Islamorada. 10 thumbs up!!
