Fort Myers to Boca Grande tarpon report

The tarpon have moved into a post-spawn pattern. That pattern is scatterd fish. The schools of tarpon that move though the area in May and June are all but gone. The schools that you'll find now are maybe 3-25 fish. Some tarpon have migrated out of the area and some have scattered in the bay and onto the flats. A few are still holding in the passes. This is my favorite time of year because you have to put your time in and figure out the fish. Gone are the days when all you have to do is run to Boca Gande Pass and look for the boats. Do your homework and you'll be rewarded. The tarpon are done spawning. Now they are ready to eat!
