Summer is here, and the awesome inshore bite it brings will show up right behind it! This is a great time of the year to be a saltwater angler and like always you can expect a busy season throughout May to early August. Snook and Tarpon are the dominate species this time of the year and there are plenty of fish around to be caught. However, redfish, trout and the majority of other inshore species are plentiful during this time of the year also. The best part of Summer is the

With this last month of consistent warm air and water temperatures spring has really brought a hot inshore bite on the southwest coast of Florida. The Spring like the Fall season is a big transition period for most inshore species.

Being an angler a majority of my life it was really tough to see the Florida Keys, one of my favorite fishing destinations destroyed in some areas.

You can never fully prepare for such a natural disaster so I hope all the families affected by this storm are s

With Summer slowly coming to an end the targeted inshore species for most anglers begin to change. Tarpon have began to move offshore to spawn and most female snook have left the beaches and passes.

Tarpon, more so juveniles begin to make the same move moving towards residential canals, dock
