Sorry for the delayed report but,for the past few weeks all I have been doing is Tarpon fishing. The schools are showing in great numbers at North Longboat Key and there are scattered fish for the patient angler off Lido and Siesta Key. The best baits have been pinfish with a good number also hitting crabs.
For those interested my tackle of choice is an Terramar Rod with an extra fast tip, Shimano Baitrunner 6000 spooled with 50lb Diamond Braid line and an 80 lb shock leader. For those of that know me well, you are probably surprised that I have moved away frpm Power Pro line, but after a few line failures early in the season, I felt a new line was in order.The best Tarpon so far is an 180 lber caught by Rob Erdesky of Sarasota after a grueling 1 hour 15 min fight and most Tarpon in one day (by 1 angler) goes to Matt Stewart of Indianapolis who landed 3 Tarpon (90,110,120 ) in 1 morning. I am so busy and whipped from fishing Tarpon that my report is going to be very short.... I'll let the pictures do the talking
See you on the waterCapt Jack
