Even though it is not Tarpon season yet, the first big groups of the 'Silverkings' have been spotted already in the Backcountry of Florida Bay and the local spots near the Keys....
Their early arrival could promise a great season for anglers interested in hooking the 'big one' at least once in their fishing 'career'!!
The winter has been colder than normal for a lot longer too, but the water temperature seems to have stabilized above 65 F and that is good news.
Hopefully the economy won't depress the industry too much although it will be a tough year ahead. At least nature goes on as usual.
Fishing this past winter has had it's up and downs due to some strong cold fronts passing through our area, but there were plenty of Trout, Spanish Mackerel and Redfish and Snook around when it warmed up a bit. Mangrove Snapper, Jack Crevalle and sharks were in abundance too. When picking your days to fish, anglers should remember to be a bit flexible in the species they would like to catch. Some days are better than others and if anglers fish the Keys long enough, they are bound to have some great days too!!
Just remember that a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at the office!!
Mother Nature does provide other worthwhile sights to see and if birds and other wildlife are in your scope of interest you will be amazed for sure!! The winter brings a lot of migrating birds down here such as White Pelicans, Roseate Spoonbills etc.
See you on the water!!
