Tarpon fishing is in full steam at this very moment. I believe a lucky fisherman could hook a Tarpon standing on Venice Beach; that’s how many I could see flying over Venice Beach and Manasota Key. My friend bought a 1938 Piper Cub this week and was explaining how the plane would be ideal for spotting fish. I exclaimed “the fish are on the beaches right now” (Boca Grande, Palm Island, Manasota Key, Venice Island, Casey Key, Siesta Key, Lido Key, Long Boat Key) all places you find Tarpon on the coast during the month of June. Greg offered to take me up for a quick flight around the Venice Island air port. As soon as we took off over the Venice fishing pier we could see the huge silhouettes of the mighty Silver King swimming around the grass patches in pods of 2 up to 10. Every hundred yards or so was a pod; very cool to see from the air. After landing I couldn’t help but think about how lucky I am to live in paradise “Venice Florida”.
