4/12/13 Tarpon fishing Islamorada in April is hot!
Friday, April 12, 2013 at 04:13PM Well despite the high winds the april islamorada tarpon fishing is staying pretty hot! Yesterday during the day most everybody had multiple bites and caught at least one fish. The action stayed good throughout the daytime period locally and fish seem to be fattening up for the spawn. Several captains had multiple fish to the boat. Last night was the same story we went 2 for 6 and only fished for 2.5 hours. Most other captains also caught fish too including Capt. Mike Bassett, Capt. Perry Scuderi, Capt. Vinnie Biondoletti, Capt. John Johansen, and Capt. Ben Ekblom. Today the local fishing was not quite as red hot though fish were caught early. We had 1 out of 2 fish in the backcountry before 9:00 AM, then caught plenty of ladyfish and trout, and several sharks and other 'sea monsters' to end the day. The islamorada night tarpon fishing will consist of good tides through the weekend here, so if your thinking of going the conditions dont get much better! Since the start of April tarpon fishing has been great and I think my theory of the late stable warm weather holding the fish off until now is proving true, hopefully the strong show of fish will continue and stay strong through into the early summer!
