BIG TARPON ARE DOWN SOUTH - MIAMI

MIAMI - Break out those whooping sticks and get your best knots tied tight cause the big tarpon are here, and when I say big I'm talking monster tarpon well over 100lbs. Last week we went 8 for about 30 on big tarpon and this included several fish between the 125lb to 150lb range. I'm not gonna give the particular tide that these fish are chosing to eat, but I will say that you have to fight it out with the shrimpers for the best spots and that can get hairy. Thats the only clue Im gonna give you on what bait to use.


Speaking of bait, we had a piss poor experience with a local bait shop dicking us around on our shrimp. We called around the shops asking if we any of them could sell us (5) Dozen "good shrimp." Most of the shops were upfront and honest and told us what they had and what the condition of the shrimp were. So we took a car ride to pick up the dozens and were lied to and shorted on our dozens. And to make it worse, the shop owner tried to lecture us on how we cant hand-pick select shrimp out of the tamk. Thats fine, I spared the energy on lecturing him on how to count to a dozen.
