Nick Hoeksema with a nice trout he landed in Sarasota Bay.
Tarpon fishing has been fantastic this week for clients fishing with me on the Josie D. Greg Pratt with brother in laws Sam Browning and Larry Ochs had two great days jumping ten tarpon and landing seven.
None of the fish released were under a 100 pounds with the largest a 175-pound monster, the second large fish in only three days.
Customers have not landed fish this size in many years making this a real treat! The tarpon caught were eating crabs, pinfish, and pilchards.
The big one is still out there with your name on it so get out and hook-em up! Bay trips are still producing speckled trout and Spanish mackerel along with small sharks and some large gaff top sail cats.
Remember, the best time to go fishing is when you can and be sure to save some for seed!
