July 12, 2017 AM & PM Reports (Tarpon video!)

A.M. report My morning trip was with Brian and his wife Lenay from Texas who are here for the MLB All-Star game and they wanted to catch snook or tarpon. With a few spots holding Tarpon the last week or so we got some bait and bran to the first spot and had Bates in the water first thing in the morning. It didn't take long for Brian to hook up and nice fish in the 40 lb class that gave us a bunch of jumps in a long fight a medium tackle. After a very cool fight and a bunch of jumps Brian got his fish next to the boat for the release and off it went. On our second attempt Lenay hooks up pretty quickly and also fights for fish in the 60 lb class bringing it to the boat and getting her picture with her fish. What a way to start the morning going to 42 on Tarpon each of them getting their fish and big smiles all around the boat. PM Report My afternoon trip was with Brandon and his son Colby who were also from Texas and here for the MLB All-Star game. We went to a second Tarpon spot for our first fishing spot of the trip and Brandon hooked up a tarp and right next to the boat that ate one of our live baits in awesome fashion. One big jump right next to the boat later the tarpon spits the hook and we're back to square one. Colby caught a nice Snapper at that spot and then we were off because the fishing slow down. Hitting the grass Flats they caught a bunch of trout before having to call the trip early because of severe weather that moved in. Capt.
