The Heat is on....


So is the action. Tarpon have been the hot ticket in May and should continue through out most of the summer. These silver kings can be very playful just off of our beaches. Early morning is the ticket on heavy spinning tackle while offering a blue crab or pinfish.

Permit is another trophy that loves crab. Try the 'M' &' D' reefs from Sarasota to Englewood. Light tackle is a must to fool these silver platters. Flat line a silver dollar sized crab on 15# tackle and if that drag starts singing, be ready to follow you fish when it moves away from the structure.

Red Snapper opens June 1st til mid July. Keep in mind Amberjack is closed June and July. While snook is closed until Sept. but subject to change. Gags are also closed until Sept 15th. For all the latest rules and regs stop by and see us at the Dockside Store.

Also be aware of the new Manatee Zones to our North. Some pretty hefty fines have been issued..... be careful.

Remember, Dockside Opens at 7 am weekdays and 6 am on weekends ...(pending nice weather)

Expect The Unexpected...
