C'mon down!

How do you fish for tarpon, live bait or casting lures?

 

[Finsandtines]

I do live bait and dead bait depending on tides and location. Breakaway lead jigs used to be what they used in boca grande but are now illegal. I have used lures in the past for smaller fish.

Of course there are several guys that fly fish for them, might even catch em on a bee pattern!

Well it's not tarpon or trout, but sometimes it's just nice to remember that there's more to summer than just baseball!!

 

[sneakypete]

The bee would work!

 

[sneakypete]

The bee would work! I might have to tie three or four together to make them more appealing!

No sneaky you stay up there on the left coast. Take your bee pattern and go for white sturgeon, they're just as acrobatic and taste better. Leave the tarpon for us southerner's.

Nice fish Dan! My buddy is heading down Thursday I'm sure he'll be out there everyday trying to catch one. I can't go this time. Got too many kids and not enough employees.

Matt, KUIU having a great sale now. I've caught my share of sturgeon and never had one come out of the water, of course only to come into the boat!

I saw that. I may need to pick something up. Still pondering what I may need worse if anything.

Glad you and your son are heading over for some trout fishing. Sounds like fun. Remember your fly rod would ya?

We like using the whistler jig. Whistles a siren song as you pull it through the water

Cat Island, Bahamas bonefishing a couple weeks ago. I love poking around the remote Bahamian Islands; usually nobody around and it's the closest thing to sneaking up on a buck or bull I've found, but with a fly rod instead of another kind of weapon. I am reasonably sure I had the only RMEF hat on the island.
