Capt. Rhett's April Fishing Report

















The fishing has been very consistent on and off the flats. Tarpon are now beginning to flood the area and as we move toward May 1st, more will be coming in. We managed to jump more than 10 fish in the past 2 weeks and even leadered a couple over 150lbs. Tarpon season is looking good and I am anticipating lots of hook ups and action over the coming months.
The flats are doing really well also with good number of Snook still showing up this year. For the first time in over 10 years, I think there are more Snook around this year than there where last year. This is very encouraging but if the season for killing these amazing game fish is not left closed for at least another 2 -3 years, we will not see any long lasting results. Think about how much it would be to go out and catch good numbers of 30in plus Snook again! Well this could be possible once again if the season is left closed. I know all of you agree so please take time out of your busy day to make a difference. Click the link at the end of this article and sign the petition to stop the season from opening again and save the Snook in Charlotte Harbor. Please spread the word about this important cause as we must make a stand soon if we ever want to see outstanding Snook fishing again.

I look forward to seeing those of you that are booked with me soon. Till then, I wish everyone all the tight lines and cold beer you can find.


Thank you all for your support,

Capt. Rhett Morris

  1. Fish on, boyz! Git 'em. Rhett & JoEllen-- you both are THE BEST. I can't wait to get down there and catch EVERY fish in the pass. Then, I will tip you handsomely so it will be less painful for you when you have to call all your charters and cancel them out because there are no fish left! Love you guys! Taylor misses you!
