  • It’s a crazy hunt trying to hook giant tarpon from the bank and I couldn’t be more stoked it finally happened. Big thanks to Jerry for the spot and to the homie and his dad for helping me land this monster. A week straight of fishing after work late every night and got out there first thing Saturday morning and made it happen. Couldn’t have asked for a better scenario. The water was flat, the sun was shining, and lil homie and his dad were there to help me land this giant. Hope y’all enjoy this one. 🖤

    I've always had great luck tarpon fishing with a nose-hooked Zoom Super Fluke in golden bream or white. I use an Owner CPS ring to hold the circle hook in place on a hard cast, then either straight reel the lure or use small twitches depending on their mood.

    • @southfloridaboys
      @southfloridaboys  2 месяца назад +2

      Locate ponds that seem to have some access to a river that leads into the ocean. They swim up river and get landlocked into ponds that way and just keep an eye out for them rolling!
