We had another big week of fishing off the Upper Keys last week, both offshore and in the backcountry.

Jeff Lassinger and Don Rodgers, from Pittsburgh, fished three trips with the 'SeaSquared' last week. Their offshore day netted dolphin and a deep-water snowy grouper.
There's a full moon arising, and it will impact all sorts of fishing. For starters, the May full moon typically spurs on the Palolo worm hatch. These little red worms spawn en masse on the surface and become culinary nirvana for the tarpon.
A huge school of tarpon crazily gulping a sea of red is quite the sight. This is your best opportunity to catch tarpon on fly, as the worms are easily mimicked.

Every where I go around town people are talking about the great fishing all over the Upper Keys this past week. It’s all about the dolphin, grouper and tarpon oh my!
