There are some big tarpon beginning to show up in Fort Lauderdale this month. The tarpon show up in the Fort Lauderdale intracoastal waterways very thick over the summer months, and they are beginning to show up now. Yesterday, we had an intracoastal charter and caught this 75 pound tarpon. We had a few other nice tarpon hit the baits, but pulled the hooks on them. We did catch 2 very nice snooks as well on the trip, and a nice barracuda. Snook are showing up near to the docks and around the pilings that mark the channels through the ICW. We are catching snooks really good with live shrimp or pilchards. Early morning or late afternoons around dusk have been the best feeding times for snooks and tarpon. Schools of jack crevalles are also roaming the flats and offer some excitement if you encounter them. There are some nice fish biting in the shallow waters of Fort Lauderdale. Tight Lines and Good Fishing!
