Tarpon Fishing and Fun in the Sun in Southwest Florida

Tarpon Fishing Season is fast approaching!!! It will be starting up in April and we will be hunting for them. We call it hunting because we go to our spots and watch for them to "roll" before we stop and put or lines in the water. When we see a minimum of 3 rollers we will then put the hook down and throw our lines out. Rollers are when the fish comes to the surface and you see the fins “rolling” on top of the water. Imagine a bouncy ball rolling down the road…When you see those three rolls you know they are there! Using the correct bait for the area is very important. Some of our fishing areas require live bait swimming on the hook and others require bait lying on the bottom of the Gulf Floor. Whether it is live (which is obviously fresh) or cut bait on the bottom it should always be fresh or “fresh dead.” If you are an adrenalin junkie and want to get it flowing fast you need to experience the “Hook Up” with a 125lb Tarpon. The beauty and adrenalin combined makes me love the sport and love living in Southwest Florida. It is one of the main reason I choose to buy a house in Cape Coral on the water…I just love fishing so much. Back to my point…The beauty of the Tarpon Jumping and dancing on the water is something to behold. It is magical when the Tarpon come straight out of the water, and then dance on top with their tails. You really become one with the fish in this process. Now my favorite fish, HUGE HENRY, the uncatchable son of a gun, is much different. When you hook him he comes out of the water on his side. The last time I “hooked up” with Henry, he came out of the water three times and just before he spit the hook out, is swear; he winked at me just to remind me who rules the water. Huge Henry is 7 f

eet long and hundreds of pounds, truly a wonderful fish to hunt. The Big Boys will wear you out so you should have your arms in good condition to fight these pre-historic monsters. I love living in Cape Coral and Fishing year round. I fish Sailfish, Marlin, Mahi-Mahi, Tuna and other game fish. Fighting these guys is as good as it gets in Southwest Florida. We are home to world renown Boca Grande Pass which is headquarters for Tarpon Fishing in Lee County Florida.
