Tarpon Report

THE TIME IS NOW TO TANGLE WITH THE BIG TARPON

Last week, one day, we hooked up on 25 Tarpon and boated 7, all which were 150 to 200 lbs. range. But mind you this is not a normal day. A normal day is hooking up 7 to 12 and maybe boating 1/2 of them. Alot of the wild jumping giants throw the hook or if they stay on there is also the chance of a giant Hammerhead or a large Bull Shark eating them, These two giants roam the Boca Grande Pass and range in size the Hammerheads are 10 to 12 foot and the Bull Sharks are 8 to 9 foot in lenth. They are a site to see in the pass. Been using jigs and crabs in the pass, with the hill tide. We did farely well, the Tarpon were on the smaller side, but we have been jumping plenty of Tarpon. So if you would like to catch a fish of a life time contact me (Capt. Tom) and so we can set up your fishing adventure

About The Author: Captain Tom Post

Company: Florida Fishing Guide

Area Reporting: Nature Coast of Florida to Boca Grande Pass

Bio: Born and raised in Saint Petersburg Florida, he's fished these waters all of his life. That's over forty years on the gulf, in it's tributaries and it's estuaries. From the back country estuaries of Tarpon Springs and Anclote Island, south past Clearwater Beach, and Tampa Bay; clear down to Charlotte Harbor, Boca Grande pass, he focuses on catching fish that unforgettable, lifetime, memories are made of. Pick the season right and catch giant tarpon, inshore slams of large snook, big bull redfish and seatrout after seatrout. When the water's right, he pursues large gulf grouper by hunting the nearshore rockpiles and reefs of the lower naturecoast. This specialty is only practiced successfully by native Florida Fishing Guides who truly understand the ebb and pulse of the gulf. Capt. Tom will be celebrating a decade on the water as a U.S. Coast Guard Licensed Captain in 2007. His '06-'07 season is already booking up for the celebration; please don't hesitate in contacting us to reserve up-coming high season dates. Check out the photos page. Then go to the species pages; pick the fish and the right time of year to pursue them. It' makes "catching not just fishing," simple and easy. Then just put in a request for a reservation. "See," simple right? If you have questions get in touch.
