Awesome week of Tarpon fishing

Tarpon and more Tarpon, It was game on this past week here in the Keys. Even though the Palolo worm hatch was happening it did not slow the bite down on bait. From what I hear the fly anglers had a great time tossing tiny worm flies at schooled up Tarpon down at Bahia Honda channel.

All week we put the Fox Sport Fishing rods and reels through fight after fight on big Tarpon. Nick Charak and Tom Taylor had a great day releasing 5 Tarpon and that same afternoon Neil Stewart and his friend Roger released 3 more. This action took place at Long Key bridge.

Randy, Curtis and Butch had 3 releases during a day and a limit of big mangrove snapper down at channel 5. Stanley Mcjunkin and friend Randy fished 2 days and an evening and had 11 released Tarpon. Randy had a serious battle with a very large Tarpon estimated at well over 150lbs.

Yesterday I had John Kozlowski and his grandson Jake Lopez. Jake caught his first ever Tarpon and John had a release as well, After that light tackle action for snappers and seatrout on the Bonefish Trek rods and Diablo 350 reels. For all the Tarpon we used Fox Tarpon Spincast rods fitted with the EOS reels, and Sailfish Trek rods fitted with Diablo 750 reels. If you are a travelling angler these rods are the best there is and so easy to travel with.
