Good2Go Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Good trip. Spent one day with a pro and was it worth it! 2 nice tarpon, multiple jacks, couple grouper and mangrove snappers for the table. My buddy had a nice jack and then almost got pulled off the boat. He reeled up half a fish! Last stop I raised a small tarpon on an artificial but was so surprised I didn't set the hook. Damn. But great day in the Keys.

Hook I Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Tarpon love artificial presentation it’s my favorite way to target them . Hooks must always be sharp & strong . Congrats ! If it has fins i want to catch it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishhead7 Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Nice report. Even a bad day out there is a good time! It's still at the top of my list for places to fish, particularly in March! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good2Go Posted March 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 We got soaked coming in (but no thunder/lightening) but the next day was windy and I learned the Capn had canceled, so very much weather dependent. Glad we slipped our trip in and only got a little wet. After pulling 2 nice tarpon to the boat, we were glowing so much we didn't even mind the rain! Yeah they weren't 150 #ers but still very cool and a great fight. And both released and swimming off strongly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
