From the extreme backcountry to the passes in Naples and Marco, chunky gold and silver fun sized tarpon are everywhere, and eating everything.
We had the water to ourselves in the light drizzle today and jumped tarpon all morning in the backwoods, before spending an hour in the pass, jumping and landing several more tarpon, before Pablo got a thump on his jig that turned into a 20 pound fat piggy if a snook that took almost 20 minutes to land on the 10 pound gear and light leader.
Perfect way to end the day and go clean the dozen fat snapper we landed between the tarpon!
Right now is just a fantastic time of the year to fish the Naples and Marco Island waters for taropn, big snook, lots of snook, and every other inshore fish that make tis region so special!
