Capt. Jeffri Durrance’s Weekly Fishing Report
David Holifield with a nice tarpon he caught and released this past week.
Tarpon are heating up along the beaches this week with schools showing more and more. David Holifield of Myakka City got on the board for the 88th Annual Tarpon Tournament this week with a nice fish caught on a crab.
Also, this week saw Sam Pass of Tampa catch a nice tarpon in the bay on light tackle with a shrimp. The fish put up a great fight with several spectacular jumps. Speckled trout and Spanish mackerel are still hot in the bay with bluefish and ladyfish also in the mix.
Remember, the best time to go fishing is when you can and be sure to save some for seed!
Jeffri is a fourth generation native Floridian who grew up in Bowling Green, Florida, located in Hardee County. While growing up on a cattle and citrus operation Jeffri fished many creeks and lakes in the central Florida area as well as the Peace River.
Capt. R.C. Gilliland’s Weekly Fishing Report
Ken Elrich caught this red grouper on Saturday.
Inshore fishing this past week, and fishing, in general, was a little difficult due to the weather. However, my clients who were willing to brave the winds and potential for rain were rewarded with snook, nice trout, and even some nice redfish.
Fishing with live bait on the top of the shallow water flats tight to the mangroves on the higher stages of the tide has yielded the best action, but the drop-offs and deeper flats have been producing consistent action as well.
Tarpon fishing was difficult with the high winds and dirty water. But they are out there off the beaches in decent numbers, and we managed to catch a few this past week.
Saturday I had the pleasure of taking out Ken Elrich and his friend Steve nearshore. The seas were calm and the action was constant. They caught red grouper, gag grouper, lane snapper, and mangrove snapper, among other fish.
I'm very laid back and easy going. I love fishing, hunting, and just about anything outdoors. I'm a licensed Charter boat Captain who likes having a good time and hates drama. I have a wide variety of friends and get along with just about anyone. Did I mention I love to fish?
