In Florida visiting my mom. My nephew is a full time inshore guide down here so I always try to get a few hours with him on the water. We usually do decent but today was pretty good. Caught two good snook throwing under the docks. One 14lbs one 17lbs, got a Black Drum at 45lbs. One nice Red Fish probably 20lbs and my first Tarpon ever at 20lbs. Great morning. I love fishing here.

That's a good day. Never caught a Snook.


Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.

My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

Heck yeah! I fish Port Charlotte with a cousin and once you catch a tarpon, you’ll keep going back.

That's a huge drum! Did you plan to eat it? I hear they are usually full of worms. (non fisher here, heard that from a beach fisherman)

My nephew said the small ones are really good eating but the big ones are full of worms.

Yes the big ones are normally full of worms. Plus they get tougher as they grow.
Florida Regs are min. 14” to a max. of 24”. Those would be the best eating.

That's awesome, I hear they stay through September now and are more plentiful in the Panhandle than years ago. Were you fishing today? Good to know I won't have to travel far once I finally have the time

Thursday morning we were in Destin between there and Ft Walton and mullet were everywhere. At one point, they were being chased heavily by at least 200 Bull Redfish. The guy standing in the water throwing castnet thought i said Bull sharks, and froze in fear. We caught about 50 mullet.

We headed that way when we heard the bite was on but unfortunately got hung up in a huge traffic jam and didn’t make it in time. My buddy said around forty tarpon hooked yesterday morning.

Fresh mullet is some fine eating.

Traffic is getting crazy around this area now and so are the people unfortunately. Post up some pics when y'all get into some action and good luck.
