Get out early in the am and load the wells tarpon have been on the move for a while now. On a recent trip we managed to boat a nice 140lb fish and hook up with a few others. The fish have been moving up and down the beaches from Johns Pass north, the key is to find the drive lane and wait useing both live and dead baits. Keep in mind there are alot of us out there pressuring these fish, a little common courtousey goes a long way. Also keep an eye out for the cobia we have been picking them up while looking for tarpon, fish have been from 23" to 38".
