Today was another slick calm beauty of a day, Adam Taylor and Andy Little joined me for some Tarpon action. We were able to castnet some mullet and pinfish for bait easily enough.
Sunrise departure...
Early morning Tarpon fishing at Cape Sable
We fished East Cape Sable on an outgoing tide and the bite was slow to start but the last 2 hours of the falling tide the bite turned on. Adam had 3 releases and Andy had 2, A few Tarpon were jumped off as we were filming and rods were in the holders.
Adam Taylor with one of his 3 Tarpon, Adam used the Permit Trek rod and Diablo 550
All the Tarpon were between 40 and 60 lbs. These are so much fun to catch as they do lots of jumping when they are this size. The tackle was Diablo 550 reels paired with Permit Trek travel rods. An Ideal combo.
Jumping Tarpon
The Permit Trek rod, Diablo 550 is perfect for catching 40-80lb Tarpon
We all got wet
Also while fishing for the Tarpon we caught quite a few Jack Crevalle. There were shoals of small fry getting blasted by schools of marauding jacks and mackerel. Quite a sight!
Andy Little with a beauty of a Seatrout caught on the Bonefish Trek rod and Diablo 350 reel
Later we went exploring in the Gulf but not much going on there, We finished the day using Bonefish Trek/Diablo 350 combos to catch Ladyfish, Seatrout and Mangrove Snapper, Plenty of fun action and a few meals as well.
