Friday, 5/20/11 … no record tarpon, but still a good fishing day

Today may not have been as extraordinary as yesterday, with the fight with the huge tarpon, but it was still good fishing.

Fished on the beach side of Captiva by the Blind Pass jetty and caught a few nice trout and a snapper.

We saw one tarpon further out and tried to catch him, but he wasn’t interested in what we had to offer.

Moved up to North Captiva and fished a couple miles out of Captiva Pass. We caught mackerel, ladyfish, jacks, and two sharp nose sharks.

We went back on the inside of North Captiva looking for tarpon; we saw a few tarpon and a lot of other fisherman, but had no luck catching a tarpon.

All in all, a good day!

Fair winds and following seas,
