Aplachicola Tarpon Are Biting

Taylor Davis, Age 11 holds a redfish caught with Capt. Tommy Holland

Yesterday was a rainy day in Apalachicola, as was the day before that, and maybe even the day before the day before that. Quite a few fishermen, women & children decided not to fish in the wet weather, especially if they felt was unsafe to fish. Yesterday morning Capt. Jr. Holland just suited up his people and said "Let's Go Fishing". Tommy Brown's group were glad he did as they managed to catch over 100 fish. Yes they got a little wet, but doesn't that just add to the whole mystique of the proverbial Fish Story?

Tarpon Update - YES they are biting, on flies, on plugs and probably on live bait except there don't seem to be many pogey minnows around right now. Could this be why they are going so well after the flies & the plugs? Inquiring minds want to know...and YES we do have Flats and Bay trips available for these lovely large jumping fish, and we will be fishing for them at least throughout the month of August.

Featured Captain for July - Capt. Kelly Butler



Capt. Kelly is locally grown and raised and has spent much of his life on local waters. He has a gentle manner that makes him great with kids, and he is able to take up to 5 people on a Bayfishing trip on his 23 foot Key West boat. His boat has not only a t-top for a bit of shade on hot days but he also has a "head" in his console. Ask me if you're not sure what that means. This is Capt. Kelly's boat tied up at the Battery Park Marina's dock in Apalachicola. Capt. Kelly does full or half day bayfishing trips and can also take you sight-seeing in comfort.
