Thursday, May 24, 2012 ~ 150 lb. tarpon caught today at Boca Grande Pass on Sanibel & Captiva Fishing Charters

Today we took Charlie and his friend Nate up to Boca Grande to go tarpon fishing!

We lost our first fish, but five minutes later we hooked-up this 150 pounder!

We then spent the next 45+ minutes fighting the fish!

When we finally had her close to the boat, we were near the beach so we got to jump in and get a great photo!

We released the tarpon and off she went.  Hope to catch another tomorrow!

After that, we decided to go trout fishing.  In jus 30 minutes, we had caught over 30 trout, seven of them which were keepers!

Overall a great day of fishing!

Let’s go Sanibel & Captiva fishing – or shelling!  It is also Boca Grande Pass tarpon fishing time!

Fair winds and following seas,
