Florida tarpon

[Scotty155]

Fished the gulf for tarpon. Incredible species to say the least.  Saw somewhere around 50 different tarpon in schools of 3-10, mostly headed north fast.  Great fighting fish, unforgettable moment in time.

Next time would really like to try fishing for them on the fly earlier in the season, pre spawn. 

Tons of fish around. Minimal fishing pressure atleast where i was at. Perfect weather.  

Excellent captain with a lifetime of experience targeting tarpon.

Where do i post the GPS coordinates?      joking lol!

Hard fighting fish until the end..nice job

Definitely a thrill catching a big tarpon.  They fight so hard for so long, I dont think I would do much tarpon fishing if I was a local.  Never thought I would say it but getting them in takes too long.  Pretty sure I would still be thrilled with any incidental hookup & small tarpon in the mangroves on the fly.

If I can figure out how to post pictures, my young fishing partner and his girlfriend regularly catch really nice Tarpon on fly rods off the beach in Florida.
