Hi, Capt Glenn reporting that the snook have finally made a move. Monday's trip we hooked 4 snook, 2 of which were trophy class snook. My clients lost all 4 of them. We were using greenbacks minnows for bait floated on a popping cork. Trout fishing has been nothing less than excellent. Big female trout are moving in to prepare for the spawn and are hungry. Last Saturday's trip resulted in 15 keeper trout from 16" to 22". The trout were caught using greenbacks floated on a popping cork. Redfish are around, we caught one 25" red on Monday's trip also including a nice sized jack crevalle. But the real story of this week is the tarpon. Yesterday we managed to hook into a nice tarpon of about 175lbs. We got 5 jumps out of him before he pulled the hook; the angler forgot to bow to the king and the hook pulled loose. The first jump he made was higher than any I've ever seen; he must have jumped 15 to 20ft into the air. Looks like tarpon are going to start early this season. We saw numerous free jumping tarpon, so this means in the next few weeks it is only going to get better for tarpon. It looks like this is going to be a good season for tarpon, so book your trip early to hold you a spot. Thank you Capt Glenn.

Capt Glenn here reporting this weeks fishing. We have been in some mild weather so far this year. As long as it continues we will have some good fishing. Snook, redfish, and seatrout have been biting well. The bait has finally arrived allowing for some good snook bites. There are some really monster snook out there right now. I have been fishing these baits on cajun thunder popping corks with 16" leader of 30lb or 40lb using greenbacks for bait. Clients have been catching some nice snook and redfish fishing along and under the mangrove trees. With the tides being on the low side this time of year the fish are looking for some deep spots close to the mangrove trees. Seatrout fishing has been good to excellent on the afternoon tide once the tide gets up on the high stage .I have also been using greenbacks for bait for the seatrout. Clients have also been getting some other fish like spanish mackeral, bluefish, and pompano. Well that will do it. Thank you Capt Glenn.
