Some like it HOT!!

They say that spring comes in like a lion or a lamb, but what about the first day of summer with a heat index of 115 degrees? For fishing, if you can withstand the heat, it can be a good thing, especially for tarpon anglers. Whether you are sight casting tarpon with a fly rod or bait casting for tarpon and sharks, they do like it hot! Those fishing for inshore species like redfish, trout and so on, plan on getting up very early in the morning and getting your fishing in before the heat really takes hold, or possibly waiting until late afternoon or early evening & fishing until dark. Early mornings and afternoons/evenings are best for sight seeing trips as well. Recent Offshore charters have been VERY successful – the red snapper are very big and very plentiful. Just be mindful of the Florida limits and don’t get so caught up in the action that you forget to reapply the sunscreen & drink plenty of water! Have a safe and happy Independence Day!!
