Palm Island Inshore Fishing Report by Capt. Mike Slattery

Tarpon Fishing is in full swing on the South West Florida coast.  Multiple bites per hour are not uncommon if conditions are good. Being early June, big female breeding fish have arrived throughout our area.  A 6 hour to 8 hour trip should afford our anglers the chance of landing a fish of a lifetime.  Tarpon up to 200lbs. are common pre spawn in mid summer.  Inshore, snook fishing is about as good as it gets.  Giant snook have gathered for a late summer spawn.  These fish will feed hard in the coming weeks to fatten up on protein.  We take extra caution with these big female fish, as they are so very important to our fishery.  As always, it's a great time to be fishing in South West Florida!!!
