Tarpon on the Beach

Captain Joe McGivern · 01-06-2006, 08:45 PM

This time of year we target Tarpon along the beach.From now until about the middle of Feb we catch them up in the haulover area.After the middle of feb we start to catch them off of govt cut.The average fish are between 60-80 lbs,but its not uncommon to catch the 100 lber most people dream of.The bite so far has been pretty decent.Herd reports of 3-5 fish on good nights and 1 on slow nights.With the moon coming up and this nice cold front the bite should pick up.Last yr we had night where we had 7 shots.When the wind is howling and its not nice to get offshore to play with the swordies we sit on the beach and play with the Silver Kings.If you have anytime this winter give me a call and we will get out there to catch a few when we cant get swording.

Tightlines,

Capt Joe McGivern
