5/7/11 Big day backcountry fishing Islamorada!
Capt. Rick Stanczyk fished two half days today on 5/7/11. In the morning we went in the back and caught plenty of ladyfish, snapper, trout, and jacks. We decided to put the big rods out for a shark or something... and the tarpon had moved back into some of my favorite areas back there! We went 1/2 plus caught a 100 lb hammerhead and 30 lb blackstip all in about 40 minutes - great fishing!!! This evening we also did a night tarpon trip, went 0/2 on the tarpon they eluded us, but did have a couple permit crush the crabs one of which we caught this nice 25 lber on a medium spin rod! Going early tomorrow for tarpon at 5 am to catch the daybreak bite!
