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.

Went out on a solo flats trip with Captain Brad and had a great time. Slow morning picked up towards midday when we started pitching docks. Captain Brad was a great teacher, explained technique well and got us on fish. Friendly, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun had on the day
