Tarpon time can wait

Hi fishing fans!

It's still kingfish and tarpon time out here in Anna Maria, if the many captains' reports coming in are anything to go by.
The Tampa Tribune says: 'Traditionally in mid-May, most kingfish have moved on and tarpon get top billing. This year appears a bit different. Though tarpon have begun showing up, kingfish have chosen to extend our spring run despite 80 degree water. The Egmont shipping channel has been among the most productive areas, and action has been widespread. Huge schools of juvenile mackerel had drawn the kings in, and most were in the 20-pound range. We and others caught our largest fish on our biggest baits. Ladyfish, bluerunners and mackerel all worked well.'
That sounds promising, so what are you waiting for? Get out on the water.

And tight lines!
