It seemed like the first part of summer we were never going to see any rain on the lagoon. The water level was abnormally low almost like the winter pattern but with the recent afternoon storms its coming back to normal. Let's start with Tarpon they can still be found holding around the bridges and along the edge of the ICW. Your best bet is to get out early before the boat traffic starts. Swim baits and twitch baits are a good choice for artificial. If using live bait finger mullet and croakers are a go to bait. The trout and red fish bite are strong in the early morning using top water plugs and soft baits. These fish can also be taken on pin fish,croakers,and live shrimp. If constant action is more your style we have some large schools of jacks in the ICW feeding on the bait pods. They will hit almost anything you throw at them from topwater to spoons and you can not beat the fight that a jack gives pound for pound.
Good luck and be safe
