Report Date: May 31, 2010

May report is somewhat on and off dew to the wind.

The tarpon fishing has been on the up and up at the end of the month dew to east calm winds.

The tarpon I have been fishing on the gulfside are all in the 100 lb. and up range.

Snook are also their in numbers if you catch the tide window right.I have been sighting nice ones in the 8 to 12 pound range.

Reds are also their in numbers,and taking flys and jigs.

I sight fish,so I like a light range of tide.

If you fish offshore,their are pleanty of Mackeral,Trout,a few Pompano,and scattered cobia.

So get out and have fun wile it last.
