My anglers today are Gene, Vinny and Chris we started out with the Tarpon in Whitewater Bay. It wasn't long after we arrived in the area the show started when I heard a loud explosion; Vinny was yelling that's incredible, a very large Tarpon had just broke the surface by about 6 feet. I was in the process of explaining what to look for when this Tarpon showed them what I meant! I gave a quick casting lesson and we got to work, the Tarpon were rolling all around us so everyone was filled with anticipation. Vinny was throwing a Pink Bomber and had a follow up, the Tarpon just ran out of space. He tried to eat the lure as Vinny was pulling it out of the water. I explained to them there's a lot of casting involved, i said just keep casting! Chris had a similar follow up and then Gene hooked up; this fish was screaming line of the reel but would not jump, after about 20 minutes we go the fish boat side and it was a 60 lb Bull Shark. The Bull Shark ate his Bomber plug, Gene was excited this was his first fish ever. We took some photos and let it go. The winds picked up and the Tarpon laid down so off to another area but the approaching cold front had the winds cranking. It was time to just catch some fish, we went to the Shark River area where the guys had a blast. The list of fish caught includes Mackerel to 5 lbs. , Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, Goliath Grouper, Jacks, Trout and Ladyfish. We kept some of the small Ladyfish and went Shark fishing, we ended up with 3 more Bull Sharks up to 70 lbs. It was time to go and the guys were worn out, that's how I like to end the days!
Tarpon are in on both coast South Miami Beach is loaded as is the back country down in Everglades National Park.
Let's go Catch'em
