We knew we'd be up against it due to the moon phase of the past week or so. Full to half-full moon up for most of the night and deadly high mid-day temperatures give the fish an excellent opportunity to feed all night and look the other when no matter how well a bait is presented to them during the daytime. Repeat client and good friend, Tyler was not intimidated. We kicked the day off watching 20 - 60 lb. tarpon lazily roll at first light. For about 45 minutes we pitched live shrimp, blue crabs, and baitfish as well as artificial presentations to them. A few sipped down the blue crabs but gave us the slip as a bony-mouthed tarpon will sometimes do. By the time the sun cleared the horizon, the tarpon activity declined and we moved onto the flats. Within minutes we were staked out on a school of black drum in the 5-15lb. range. After a few missed hook-ups we finally landed one around 22" and a slot red before the school moved on. From there it was pretty much all sight fishing. We had a few opportunities at large trout and snook cruising the flats despite the tough moon phase and Tyler followed directions perfectly to sight-fish a couple of over-slot Mosquito Lagoon redfish! They are plentiful but demanding in the clear shallow water and closely adhering to the direction of your guide is all but imperative. In the late afternoon, we returned to the main channel to try our luck with the bull reds. On light tackle, we landed a few more fish including another over-slot redfish and we had an absolute monster on the 6500 penn that somehow managed to break us off on some structure

Trinity bay Temps are high 80s. Alot of fish are deep and hungry. Small trout and skipjacks are running the shallows on incoming tides. Reds are staying deep in channels and deep reefs. Black drum are everywhere, with sheepshead mixed in with them. The go-to bait are live shrimp and fresh dead shrimp on popping cork, artifical and also bottom rigs.

Fishing in trinity bay has been great with quick limits. Reef, rocks, and structures have been holding fish. Reds, Trout, Blackdrum have been biting prominently on shrimp under cork and with good tide movement on bottom rigs. Sheepshead have been of good size hitting on shrimp as well. Tons of bait moving around the bay system. This weekend between the bad weather should be great fishing with the waters cooling down a little.

The bait is finally showing up on the beaches. The bite is slowing down in the afternoon due the heat. Lots of fun bites out there though

Drum and reds have been schooling up tight. Look for signs of dirty or off colored water in clear area around shorelines or small drop offs.
Live shrimp under or popping cork or cut mullet and skip Jack have been the key.
Trout bite has been good with croaker when you can find a good concentration of slot trout.

Matt Green and sons, AJ and Aiden, had an outstanding day in the backcountry near Flamingo in Everglades National Park. The boys caught about 20 snook (we lost count!), redfish, jacks, trout and saw lots of sharks! They even got to see bottlenose dolphin and a bald eagle to round out the day!
Ken Morris and son Henry, came down for a morning of fishing in the back country near Flamingo in Everglades National Park. Managed several snook and redfish. Was a great morning for sure!
Aldo Palombo, enjoyed a day on the water with Capt GW. Managed to hook 7 snook and a redfish on artificial baits!
