Here are some great videos from yesterdays charter of Tarpon jumping right at the boat.

We caught two fish and jumped seven more yesterday. The biggest of the two we caught was about 120 pounds.

It is good that the Tarpon have started to bite again, so come on down, book a charter and catch yourself a big one. Just remember to tell us that you want to go Tarpon fishing before we leave the dock, that way I can grab the right gear.

Little Black Tip Shark caught at Fosters, Sanibel & Captiva Islands & Fort Myers Charters & Fishing Guide Service.

Little Black Tip Shark caught at Fosters, Sanibel & Captiva Islands & Fort Myers Charters & Fishing Guide Service.

On today’s charter, we headed up to Fosters to try for Tarpon.

Unfortunately, the water is still a mess from yesterday and we couldn’t get the Tarpon to bite.

However, we did catch a bunch of little Sharks!

Hopefully the weather will allow the water to settle, so that we may resume to catch Tarpon.

Its a shame that this weather came through now, which should be the best Tarpon fishing of the year, but that’s why its called fishing not catching.

Sunset over Redfish Pass on Sanibel & Captiva charters!

On today’s charter we spent the whole day fishing for Tarpon to no avail. The reason why the fishing was so bad was because of the wind, and yesterdays cold-front. The wind was blowing hard out of the North East, which around here is the worst possible direction for it to be blowing out of. The cold-front from yesterday left us with high pressure today that prevented the fish from coming to the surface.

Hopefully the conditions will improve latter this week because right now is the prime season for Tarpon fishing, and its a shame the the weather is ruining it.

On today’s charter we went up to Boca Grande Pass.

There we hooked, caught, and released this nice 120 pound Tarpon. We thought we had him beat when we got him by the boat, but as this video shows he still had some fight in him!
