Whether it be a tarpon or a sea trout, a different fish will give you a different experience when saltwater fishing, according to outdoors enthusiast Guy Riordan. Guy Riordan has spent a lifetime enjoying and working in the outdoors. From his days of owning a game preserve to appearance on outdoors television shows, Guy Riordan understands the outdoor experience.
“A tarpon will give you a great fight and great experience,” explains Guy Riordan. However, according to Guy Riordan, this fish is not one to be eaten. “It is strictly a catch-and-release fish,” says Guy Riordan. “Due to its boney frame, it is not edible.” Yet Guy Riordan points out that if a fisherman wants a great experience, the tarpon will not disappoint. “This is the fish that will fight savvy, leap out of the water and flip in the air,” explains Guy Riordan. And the tarpon is easy to find in Florida waters. “Back waters, mangroves, and flats,” explains Guy Riordan. According to the outdoor enthusiast, tarpons grab hold of their prey – your line – fast!
Then there is shark. “Yes, an avid fisherman can take a shot at catching a bonehead shark,” explains Guy Riordan. According to Guy Riordan, the bonehead is closely related to the hammerhead shark. “These sharks at three feet maximum length can give quite a fight to even the most experienced of fisherman,” notes Guy Riordan. Fishing off the coast of Florida, the fishing aficionado will also find black tip and bull shark moving around, according to Guy Riordan.
“Finally, there is the snook, which has four species in the waters of Florida,” explains Guy Riordan. The common snook species is the most prevalent snook. “While January and February are great months for common snook fishing, March is when it really heats up,” states Guy Riordan. The season peaks in April, according to Guy Riordan, but keeps pushing all the way into October. “However, May through September is strictly catch and release only,” states Guy Riordan. During that time, according to Guy Riordan, snook season is officially closed.
“This kind of fishing requires one major item: fresh batteries,” states Guy Riordan. Explaining further, Guy Riordan states that a fisherman will want his/her camera to have fresh batteries for the pictures. “If you snag a bonehead, or a tarpon is on your line shooting out of the water, you will want a picture!” exclaims Guy Riordan.
