Tarpon are still here and will be in the Sanibel Island area for all of May and June

The Tarpon are still here and will be in the Sanibel Island area for all of May and June. Last week fishing 2 full days with Bryan and Matt we caught 6 Sharks from 3' to 10', mostly Black tip and Bull sharks. The sharks filled in the wait for Tarpon, we hooked 5 tarpon and got 1 to the boat. The sharks ended up eating the Tarpon at boatside, a sad and spectacular end to the battle. The rest were on for 1 to 3 jumps and up to 15 minutes.

The back bay is still producing Trout, Spanish Mackrel and a few Snook. Redfish have been scattered and less dependable.

If you are looking for Tarpon there are still lots of days open, If you are on vacation and want to take the family out for fun fishing...... Call and book your day. 239-410-7194

Sanibel Island Tarpon Fishing

Early May and it's hot on the water. The Tarpon are biting on the beaches when the wind is blowing out of the east and in Pine Island Sound when it's out of the west. At the Gulf passes the crabs are flowing on the outgoing tides and the Tarpon are there to dine on the buffet. If you are staying on Saniibel Island Captiva Island or are near Ft. Myers, now is the time.

If you are looking to do some drift fishing in the afternoon at a pass with the crabs, I have May 13th,14th,16th,17th and 18th open. In the morning I have been fishing for Snook, Trout, and Jacks.
