On Tuesday, May 12th my wife and I spent the morning kayaking and fishing around the East side of North Captiva. I caught my first fish from the kayak, a 22" sea trout. What fun. Had trouble taking the picture and not dropping my phone into the water.
Drifted close to the mangroves only to be teased by many 3' snook. They were saying, "don't you know we are out of season now".
Around 5 pm we got in our boat to fish North Captiva Pass. Not many boats out but the tarpon were there. Three boats fishing the North side of the pass in the drift outbound at 2.1 mph were seeing tarpon rolling everywhere. We had good threadfin herring bait and were free lining them. The other two boats were using artificials and each boated 150+ pound tarpon. It was fun just being there when those mighty fish jump out of the water and splash down. Several times they jumped 20 feet from our boat. We didn't catch any but did catch large ladyfish (poor man's tarpon) and several large blue fish.
