Tarpon Springs Redfish!
While fishing in the Tarpon Springs area this past week, the kids stole the show. They out fished "dad" and "mom" at every turn. and it didn't matter if the kids were 10 years old or 20 years old. For what ever reason the "kids" had the hot hand.
The bite has been a little inconsistent which is sort of common this time of year. For every 4 charters we have that rank in the really good column we have one that defies the status quo and is really slow. That's just the "straight talk express" as John McCain would say. I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that we're going to guarantee that we set records right now. Every day is a little different than the last. I had one day this week where we caught 75 redfish, one where we caught 40 redfish, one day where we caught 10 redfish, and one day where we caught 0. Thanksfully, on the slow redfish days, we've had a smattering of snook, trout (although kinda' small, which is normal this time of year), snapper, and grouper thrown in the mix. The good news is that we're having 4 good-great days for every slow day.
Redfish are the hot target right now. I look for the bite to get better as fall approaches. That's when they will begin to school up in large groups. Just recently I've seen my first school of reds numbering in the thousands since March.
One thing is for sure, you can't catch fish sitting on the couch. If you want to do some fish catching soon, you're best bet will be to get an early start by going with me to catch bait. If bait is easy to get, we could be fishing by 7am which is well before the sun begins to heat the water to temperatures where the fish get uncomfortable.
Let's go fishing!
