Fox Sport Fishing Catch Report - 21st July 2011

Another day in Paradise! Today I had the whole Fox crew. Cliff, Cathy, Andy and Adam. Running by an island I saw a mullet flip so we stopped and threw the castnet a few times. Plenty of fresh mullet never hurts.

We started fishing with live pinfish where we had seen plenty of Tarpon the day before but no bites. Then a big thunder storm chased us away for an hour.

We tried another spot but only sharks.

Around 11am we got back to our first spot and now the weather was hot and slick calm. Andy hooked a nice Tarpon but it came off before we could get the leader.

I decided to anchor and fish our fresh mullet. This payed off as we caught 4 Tarpon and jumped 5 more off. Andy caught 2, Cliff caught 2 and Cathy had a Tarpon about 80lbs. Adam was on shark patrol today and must have caught a dozen.

Cathy Fox likes using the EOS 30 paired with the
Tarpon Spincast Trek rod to do her Tarpon fishing!

Cliff catches his second Tarpon of the day again using

Adam Taylor is the designer and technical expert for the Fox line of saltwater reels. It was great for him to use the tackle and experience first hand what the tackle goes through on a day to day fishing trip.

As the outgoing tide slacked so did the fishing, We finished the rest of our bait catching more sharks and jumping 2 Tarpon off. It was another really good day of Tarpon fishing here in the backcountry of Everglades National Park.
