Month: June 2013

The june key largo tarpon fishing has still been productive.  Not a whole lot of big numbers but have gotten some nice tarpon just about every trip the last week that we’ve tried.  Falling tide in the afternoons earlier in the week on the end of our day trips produced fish every day on dead mullet.  The last few evenings the tide has been later so on our night trips we’ve caught them, 2 out of 3 two nights ago, and 2 out of 4 last night.  Plus even some other big things such as sharks and the elusive mud marlin.  If you want to catch some summer key largo tarpon fishing then it’s a good time to go.  The day time fishing deep in the everglades has been productive too – that fishery is very good in July and August and not many people fishing then.  Drifting live crabs on the evening trips locally around key largo bridges with falling tide should be a good bet through July and often you can find guides willing to go a little later since many of us are not fishing every day and the fishing closer to dark can be a better bet.  Give me a call – we’ll put you on some big ones!

Well the june key largo tarpon fishing is still happening.  Fishing is not quite what it was in the spring but still a mix of migrating fish with plenty of locals.  We had some action in the backcountry a few days ago fishing them around flamingo channels and the surronding area.  Mostly fishing fresh dead mullet.  Today we ran back near key largo and fished some of the local channels and caught a big tarpon as well as a ‘mud marlin.’  A couple evenings ago we also had 2 bites and caught 1 big tarpon in the same area.  In the backcountry the tarpon fishing can get good in a hurry though can turn off just as quick.  There is still plenty of action fishing for trout, snappers, ladyfish, etc…  Some snook have been off the shorelines of the mainland and some of the backcountry creeks and moats.  A few redfish can be found in the super skinny water too.

Well the june key largo fishing backcountry has been a little tough the last week.  We’ve had some nasty green water and lots of grass/weed from the hard offshore winds.  Though today it laid out nicely and things started to get a bit better for us.  We went in the gulf of mexico which is a long ride from key largo but from our docks can be done.  The wrecks were not red hot but had some good fish to be caught.  We had lots of big sharks including some blacktips, a lemon, and plenty of hard fighting bull sharks.  We also caught 4 big goliath groupers up to several hundred pounds.  The key largo shark fishing is a good bet in the summer.  We had several shots at permit and did catch one too.  The fish were not biting very good though only had a couple try to eat, on shrimps and crabs both tested.  We also got a nice little cobia plus pulled off another.  Great key largo fishing charter in june.

Well it’s been a lot of rain lately the last several days and more for tomorrow too at least.  It hasn’t stopped us from getting out and going june fishing in key largo.  The tarpon bite is not quite what it was in April however we are still catching some nice fish.  Generally my trips haven’t been quite 100% focused on tarpon and often we just try for a few hours in the morning or afternoon.  The last 3 trips we have caught them all times that we tried and went and did other things the rest of the day which has been a winning formula for me.  Today we caught lots of sharks in the key largo backcountry as well as some big ‘mud marlin.’  We also caught plenty of nice size trout, ladyfish, and snapper.  3 days ago we went and hit the gulf of mexico, key largo wreck fishing.  It was a great day with a a couple permit on light tackle, 3 cobia, 2 gigantic 300 lb bullsharks, a couple nice redfish, and limit of seatrout for dinner.  If your looking for key largo tarpon fishing in june I have evenings available and that is a more productive option most of the time than fishing in the morning.  The full days the backcountry tarpon just have not been around consistently so I would recommend an evening trip.  Give me a call or email and I can get you out there!
