Got out with Rod and Mark today and we decided to mix things up a bit. It’d been flat calm the last couple days after it blew very hard sunday/monday, like 45 mph it was crazy! Anyways things had warmed up a bit and I heard yesterday there were some tarpon around that the fly guys were chasing. Anyways we decided to give it a shot we caught plenty of spanish mackerel in the morning and used them for bait. We found some sharks in the channel as well, lemons and blacktips, as well as a couple big ‘mud marlin’ saw fish! We only had 1 tarpon bite, but it counted and we landed a nice 75 lb fish! Anyways nice to have caught the first tarpon of the year in January! Looks like its suppose to get cold the next few nights though so it probably is going to be short lived. But February is right around the corner and that can be the start of tarpon season for us if it is warm like it is today. Of course the weather is unpredictable… 1 for 1
