Had a glass calm day today and it looked very tarpony out there! February is usually still pretty early for our tarpon season, but when its hot and calm like this, they can definitely show up. I had heard the last couple days a few were around again though didn’t have clients that were interested in them… Today though it sounded like a good option. We caught a bunch of mackerels much of which we used for bait early on. Then we hit the channels out west of flamingo and found the tarpon there. They weren’t chewing like crazy, but after a little work we soon had a nice 80 lber hooked up. We got him boatside but he threw the hook before we could get good victory pictures as they often do, but still landed none the less. After that we ended up with more sharks, and a few big mud marlin, and finished the day with some nice snook. 1 for 1
