The Tail Chaser Fleet has had a great month fishing inshore and offshore charters. Our Inshore team led by Capt. Chris O'Neill has caught plenty of oversized Redfish, along with giant Snook that have began their spring migration out of the rivers. Redfish have been plentiful along the West Wall of the Myakka River, as well as the Cattle Dock area of the river. The bar outside of Cape Haze has held multiple species all month. The Snook bite has been insane, with most of Capt. Chris' guides using Tarpon gear to pull the monsters out of the structure. The bait of choice has been pilchards and threadfins. Artificial will produce, but live bait is the guarantee to giant fish. Tarpon, Tarpon, Tarpon! The Tail Chaser Fleet boated over 40 Silver King Tarpon in the month of April. The bite will only get better for the next two months, and be steady through the summer. Tarpon are hungry to eat your larger threadfins. Large schools have been running the bar along the east side of Charlotte Harbor. The Offshore captains have been finding major bites along the beaches and out to 150 feet. The Kings have been running within 1-15 miles of our beaches, along with plenty of Spanish Mackerel. Grouper are found along the wrecks, and have been smacking pinfish and threadfins fished on the bottom. Trolling will also work well, over the wrecks. Chum heavy for the best results. If you would like to experience some of this unbelievable action, give us a call. We are excited about the new line-up of guides we have now, and look forward to continued success. For the best fishing in the Venice Florida or Charlotte Harbor area, spend a day with one our team of world-class guides. Visit our new website www.tailchasercharters.com, or call Capt.
