Tarpon Summer Underway...

Though the recent torrential rains changed the salinity, water clarity and temps for certain Biscayne Bay tarpon schools, the right adjustments- see this blogs' archives- are all it takes to achieve a measure of success. After all, necessity is the mother of invention, whose mother, in turn, is new thought.

One quick hint in a rain blown-out bay is to recognize that the incoming tide will bring warmer, saltier water back into the picture..the closer to an inlet your spot is, the quicker this will take place. More so, the fullest effect will be felt by the fish at high tide when all the saline fluid for that tide will have been restored.

I actually had one morning when I saw tarpon practically every spot I went. Their feeding behavior was very locale-specific- no surprise, really, is it?

'Luxe Tarpon Time!....

Let others grouse about the cloudy skies and rain. As for me, I know the silver kings never mind -actually, really like- the low light moments. Clouds and light rain are okay... just no boomers, please.

With the water temperatures this high, find the bait schools in the historic SOFLA spots and you should be in business- provided you're willing to employ whatever method the fish and the water column dictate. I did and the results were just fine!

We had an incredibly memorable angling travel experience at Tranquility Bay Resort under the able hands of managers Carlos and Isabelle Settle and guides Roy and Winfield. Lots of great action with tarpon, bonefish, barracuda, horseye and crevalle jacks, in addition to the full spectrum of scrappy snappers- all of this in a set-away-from-town paradise with awesome diving as well! Stay tuned for the full story soon!

Hello from Sarasota Bay!

Captain C.A. Richardson and I had a great day on the redfish. We released 14 fish to 7 pounds and pulled the hook on 5 reds. More later!
