I wouldn't know. I haven't been going. My Okaloosa pass expired at the end of June. All I've been doing is inshore fishing, mostly on the weekends. But I do believe they are starting to "catch" a few Tarpon.

Yeah it worked just fine. It slings a cig a country mile and works it really well. It held it's own with the small kings we were catching and did just fine with that big old bonito who nearly dumped my Mitchell 306. The best part is the setup is very light and easy to hold all day.

Best tarpon pics I have seen in a while. From what I see, there is no need to justify caught, that big minnow was had. It would have been nice to beach it for a chance to revive it and some more pictures. I think it is better to release the fish as before it is too worn down and becomes shark bait.
