Chris Clark, a repeat client from Kennesaw, GA, took a day from his family vacation on St. George Island to try his hand at tarpon fishing yesterday. Chris is a keen angler and great company, so I was anxious to showcase our great fishery. Unfortunately, Mother Nature made our task challenging. After...

After my last trip to St. George Sound, I was pretty discouraged. Work crews were placing booms all over as a precaution to potential oil and the tarpon were few and far between. What a difference a new month makes! Yesterday Rocky Gavins was my guest aboard Fin-esse and we had an outstanding day on...

Apalachee Bay Lots of floating grass has made topwater fishing difficult this past week. The stormy conditions have also silted up the water. As a result, lures that attract or flash will get the nod. Aqua Dream spoons in chartreuse or silver will be a good choice for redfish, while DOA shrimp in glow...

Despite the best-laid plans, sometimes the fish don't read the memo. Father Jeff Reich and his buddy (and parishioner) Trent Mulloy were looking forward to some fly-fishing adventures Friday and the day started with much promise. Slick calm water and stifling hot conditions greeted us after a brief...

Iowa Hawkeyes Tom Rogers and John Brooks were my guests earlier in the week. The two were vacationing on nearby St. George Island and wanted to sample the great mixed bag opportunities of St. George Sound. We started out the morning poling the shoreline and John brought the first fish to the boat, a...

Perfect conditions were forecast Saturday for sight fishing for tarpon , and for a welcome change the weather guessers were right for once. Georgians Josh England and Alex Jaume met me at the Lanark Village Boat Club ramp and we quickly fired up Fin-Esse and took off in search of the mighty silver king...

We hit the Gulf today, even though it was blowing 35mph. We had wind against tide most of the day. We caught mangrove snapper during that time. The tide change was at 1:30pm and that is when the cobias turned on. We caught 2 off the kite on live blue runners. We caught 2 more on live pinfish on the bottom...

by Vicky Wiegand On Sunday, August 23 rd , I hooked a monster tarpon. It was a beautiful day on the water. My boyfriend, Daniel Martinko and I, along with our friends, Mike and Lindsay, were fishing off the small town of Lanark Village in north Florida at around 10 AM. Our target was tarpon, and we were...

By Mike Guthrie When one thinks of exotic fishing destinations, plenty of places come to mind. The Amazon, Costa Rica, and Guatemala are some of the tried and true places to hunt for game fish. These places have been known for years as "go to" places for a "fishing trip of a lifetime."...

Tarpon fishing around Sanibel the month of May is great! Every year I have a trip where clients come for the first time and have the time of their lives. This year they are Scott and Sally Lundgren and their friend Tim Bradley from PA. They stayed at the Tarpon Lodge and fished with me 2 days. I picked...

October 29 , 2008 As I write this report, the Keys are finally embracing the first cold snap of the year. Blue bird skies, breezy conditions, and cool temperatures mean change is upon us. (No political pun intended.) Until now, the water temps have remained steady in the high 70’s and low 80’s...
