Garys had light tackle with 17lb test and 30lb leader. He managed to keep the Tarpon jumping until the fish headed for the pilings. Later, we caught some huge cravalle jacks on light tackle. Next, we headed out for some live bait. Gary mixed up his chum receipe and I used the ten foot cast net to get a livewell full of small pilchards.
Birds are all over the bays and passes.
Locate the feeding birds and you find Spanish Mackeral and Ladyfish. Use small jigs with light line and leader. Tarpon are still around feeding heavily on baitfish during a strong outgoing tide in the passes. Big cravalle jacks are along the beaches and bays.
