june is almost gone and july is right around the conner. tarpon have been on the feed getting ready for the spawn on the full moon. wehave been averging 7 to 8 tarpon and boating 2or3 to the boat. these bad boys have been in the passes at night and inthe backwater. redfish have just shown up in big schools of 500 to a 1000. these fish are on the flats. cut laddtfish or pinfish is the key to susecess. snook are on the move from the beach to the pass. scaledsardines & thredfin herring have got the job done. pay attion to the tides and solunar periods for the best action.

thanks capt craig

Bio: As with most diehard fisherman I started at an early age. Growing up on the Indian Rocks Pier I learned quickly that the "Oldtimers" were vast with knowledge. They took me under their wings and shared that much needed knowledge. In 1985 Hurricane Elena took away my favorite fishing pier and with it the informal educational sessions I so enjoyed. I moved to later work as a mate on a commercial fishing vessel. In my spare time I fished off piers and the flats.

Then I met an excellent local fisherman by the name of Kenny Krohl who introduced me to "Light Tackle Sport Fishing". I learned the finer points of fly fishing and light tackle. Kenny holds several IGFA World Records on a fly rod and light gear. I have made the backwater estuaries my second home.

Come experience the joys and excitement of "Skinny Water" fishing at it's best!
