"Fishing Cape San Blas, St George Island, Apalachicola & Mexico Bech"

 Tarpon have began showing up along the beaches of Cape San Blas. The big push of fish should begin stacking up in West Pass within the next week. All signs point to an excellent year for the Silver King. Now if we can just get the winds to shut down for a while. Maybe a live sacrifice is in order. I can think of a few excellent candidates. LOL.

The bay fishing has been the best it has been in years. All the species (Trout, Reds, Pompano, Spanish and Blues) are well represented.

The Triple Tail bite is wide open. Some old timers say it is the best they have seen in 30 years. All in all, it is stacking up to be a great year. Hope you get tp join us.

Please feel free to give me a call or shoot us an email if you have any questions. I hope we get to see you at the dock soon. 850-509-0573

04/09/08 - Fishing Cape San Blas, St George Island & Mexico Beach Sorry for the delay in posting a fishing report. Being the eternal optimist (a fishing guide), I was holding out for better weather. Mother nature is apparently in a very bad mood. The recent rains bode well for the upcoming Tarpon season. The rise in Apalachicola River water levels will supply the necessary fresh water to balance the salinity levels in Apalachicola and St Joe Bays for months to come. This is a vital component to the pogies (Tarpon bait) which will arrive in large numbers beginning in June. If the salinity level is in balance and remains stable, the large schools of pogies will stay as long as late October. That simply means the Tarpon will stick around also. God, I love those pogies. Two early season Tarpon have already been sighted. Thank God I was not the one to see them. I would probably still be out there fishing for them.If you haven't experienced Cape San Blas - St George Island Tarpon fishing, you need to make plans to do so. We still have a few days left for July (Prime Time) Tarpon trips. Give me a call or email and let us sign you up. The water temps this morning were around 66 degrees. We had a reading of as high as 71 degrees last week. That's the old, "You should have been here last week". A lot of Pompano were caught when the water warmed. Several Cobia were even sighted during that time. The cooler temps this week will force the real onslaught to pause awaiting warmer surf temps. Maybe next week. Some Trout and Redfish are being caught on the flats.The Redfish schools that we have found are large (over 100 fish). Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish are here in good numbers. Most of the Mackerel are small. Some large Spanish are being caught in deeper water. If you have any questions, either respond to the blog or send me an email. I'll will respond promptly. Hope we get to share some time on the water this summer. See you at the dock!                                  Capt. Keith Grimes
