I have had the guys from Fox fishing with me this last few days. The Tarpon action has been outstanding so far, Cathy Fox as usual is our star angler with 6 releases, Followed by Cliff with 5 and Freddy with 2.
Day 1 we explored the backcountry and came up with 2 Tarpon. Cliff had a giant over 150lbs. Day 2 we really got into them. Hooked 11. Lost 2 in the bridge pilings and landed 7 for the day. Yesterday we played hide and seek with the weather. Tropical downpours were all around but got out at 10am and still managed 4 Tarpon. Live mullet fishing has been a blast literally..
Cathy Fox used the Fox Sport Fishing EOS 30 reel fitted on the 5 piece Tarpon Spincast rod. Cliff and Freddy are using the Sailfish Trek rod and Diablo 750 spinning reel. Check out the shots below, non stop action!

There are several different techniques of trout I use for capturing fish in the spring. Two of the most anxiousness are trolling and still fishing.
