Ft Myers to Boca Grande Tarpon Fishing Report for April

Fort Myers - Saltwater Fishing Report

I started consistently catching tarpon on April 7th and its been pretty good ever since. A hard cold front hampered the fishing for a day but that was about it.

The tarpon are holding in all of the usual places. The gulf south of Sanibel, all the rives and most of the passes are holding tarpon right now.

I even had a angler hook 2 and land 1 over 100 pounds on fly last week. Both tarpon hit a 6 inch streamer. We were in over 15ft of water which made for a heck of a fight on the 12wt tackle.

When bait fishing, threadfin herring have been the best baits but pinfish and cut bunker and ladyfish chunks have been hooking fish on the flats. That's about all the info that I'm sharing at this point. Its tarpon hunting season.

Good Luck,
