    The weather’s been beautiful in Islamorada Florida. Great time to go Snook fishing. The Snook have been biting back in Everglades national Park and the surrounding islands. Live bait has been a better choice, but still catching lots of Snook on artificial‘s. Also, in the same area, we are finding the Speckled Sea Trout in large numbers. They are fun fish to catch and good eating too!

    Mid May is producing quality fishing for the Palm Beaches. Stellar conditions, light winds lots of sun shine and clean water. Snook are on the move! Sight casting snook along docks and mangrove shorelines using live bait and DOA C.A.L. Curls tails get the drag screaming. Deep cuts and beaches are starting to hold fish as well. Tarpon fishing is great in back country and in the intercostal. Live baiting tarpon best bet, but the DOA Terror Eyz also great bait to get the bite. Both sides of the tides are producing fish. Great mix bag of species being caught near structures and holes. Jacks are very abundant along with mackerel, snapper, ladyfish, croakers and triple tail. Live baits and DOA C.A.L. Curl Tails get the strike. Well that is the fishing report for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines!

Fishing report from John R. in Tampa, Florida Book a trip with Captain John here.

    It's officially Spring in Tampa Bay Area. Snook are all over the place and are feeding well. Water temp's are right where they should be which puts the fish in a good mood, which means bent rods and screaming drags. Live bait is the best choice, but if you like tossing artificials, no worries, you'll catch your fair share as well. Here are a few lures that I like when targeting snook, redfish and trout. Headon's Spookis my go to for top-water. For redfish, and trout, I like tossing a 4"paddle tail ( colors: white and clear with red metal-flake ). Snook in Tampa Bay are live bait feeders, but you can still get them to eat artificials. I like a 1/8oz snake-lock jig head with a ZMan Paddlerz. Schools of redfish are also showing up on the flats in a few areas. These fish are very boat shy, so be quiet and patient and you'll hook a few. Once again, live or cut bait has been the best way to hook these skittish bronze beauties. Some of the redfish schools have been beat up by some fishermen, but that’s just how it goes with the amount of boaters on the water these days, so again, be patient and you'll hook a few. They are mostly oversized fish, which means your drag is gonna scream. The sheepshead bite is still going strong in Tampa Bay, and the rock piles, jetties and bridges have been producing some nice catches. Live shrimp, fiddler and mud crabs have been the baits of choice.

Fishing report from Craig L. in Clearwater, Florida

    Tarpon have shown up in good numbers off the beaches of Indian Rocks Beach to the clearwater beach area. They can be found just out side the swim boys up and down all the beaches. They will be in the passes awell the backwaters of clearwater sound and Dunedin FL into Tampa Bay. We can hook you up to these majestic fish. Redfish, Trout, and Snook have been scattered from the beaches to the flat. Most of the big speckled trout are off the beaches mixed with the snook witch make for great sight fishing. Scaled sardines, Small Pinfish and Pigfish is producing the better fish. For edfish they are on the flats and spoil ilands with a abundant of mullet. Cut Lady Fish or threadfins have been working well but live punfish and grass grunts can make a difference You don't want to kill the bait, it just needs to flutter on the bottom with the tail trimed off . With so many species around nearshore and inshore you can have a shot at catching some big fish to test your skills. Don't forget the shark fishing with many different species and size from 10lb up to hundreds of pounds. Now is the time to start booking your summer trips for Tarpon, Redfish, Snook, Sharks and more. Thanks, Capt. Craig

    Miami Dolphins offensive tackle, Liam Eichenberg, came down with a former Norte Dame teammate for a day of backcountry fishing and "tackled" some high winds for a fun day of fishing. Wound up catching 5 snook and 3 redfish and released a sawfish. Great time on the water.

Fishing report from Phil P. in Tampa, Florida Book a trip with Captain Phil here.

    Spring into summer by fishing in Tampa Bay! Charter fishing in the last month in Tampa Bay is about as good as it gets as far as plenty of action plenty of great fish to catch and plenty of options for our local fish and we have migrating species invading our local waters. With the warming waters we get large schools of cigar minnows, hard tails, blue runners, and threadfin herring with that brings king fish, sharks, Spanish mackerel, Bonita, and even sailfish and blackfin tuna. Our inshore fishing has been on fire our customers have found redfish and large speckled trout with plenty of snook in the last month, and we are seeing more and more tarpon showing up with every passing moon so it's time to grip that rod reel just a little bit tighter and be ready for those silver kings to come a calling. I don't really expect any real changes except for more tarpon and sharks in the weeks to come so tight lines until next time. -Captain Phil

Fishing report from Joe C. in Jacksonville, Florida

    They don't call it MAYport for no reason! Fishing the last few weeks has been off the chain. From inshore to offshore there really isn't anything that isn't biting. Playing the tide weather has been determining the target!
