Not to be attempted with anything under a 10 weight if you want to have some control over these guys. It is hard to judge lately what is going on out there with a flats boat as rough seas are prevailing these days. I did see my first schools of tarpon heading up the beach on the one day last week that I was able to get out. Six pods of fish 7-10 fish per pod, about 75 yards off the beach S. of the St. Lucie Inlet. In the 70 lb. class.
Someone needs to turn off the fans and turn up the heat.
The fish are really ready to take off and it is incredible what a day of near perfect weather does for the bite. The main targets being snook and tarpon inside the inland waterways until the wind and seas get back to a more comfortable level, tarpon in the twenty to sixty pound range have been cooperating nicely. Night trips for snook have been decent, though the inclement weather has made them a little less than cooperative. Area docks have good supplies of snook in the twenty four to thirty inch range. Another month and hotter water temps will bring in the big fifteen pound and up snook.
