Fishing Report

5/18/2012 - Tarpon Season! - The migration is well underway...

Now that the bad weather has passed the tarpon fishing is as good as it gets.

Like most years in May the fish are spread out everywhere. In the passes, beaches and on the flats of the harbor. I will try to update as regular as I can with new pics. Jenni has been up to her old tricks with that Nikon and I have too many to choose from. (Actually she doesn't let me use the best jumps. She saves them for the magazines. I will try to steal a few when she is not looking!)

***Due to a cancellation I am now open on the 26th and 28th of June***

Till next time, keep the line tight and bow when they jump.

Here are a couple photos from the last few days.

New 2012 Videos!!!

The first video is Carrie's fish, the second is one of Marcus's.

Marcus and Carrie Poffenberger from Texas with a few early season bruisers.

Just a few of their jumpshots.

Here are a few great pics from spring. The flats fishing was the best it has been in several years, especially the snook fishing.

Just added!!!

2011 Tarpon Season Photo Journal

For those who like to read about fishing when they can't be fishing. A great friend and client Ed Novak, from Ohio, just published a book "Meet me at the Net, Stories from Steelhead Alley". I am just starting to get into it. It is a great read for anyone that loves fishing.

It is available at Amazon.com, in print and for Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/MEET-ME-AT-NET-Steelhead/dp/061551684X

Here is a shot of Ol' Hitler having lunch. This was after we released this tarpon, 300yds away along the beach. I noticed the commotion and ran over there. Definitely one of the most awesome predators on planet earth.

If you are thinking about tarpon season in Boca Grande, call or email for a free copy of my DVD "Tarpon Fishing in Boca Grande" and we will get one right out to you.
