Big Tarpon Off The beach! Help! - justinb - 07-14-2009

Hello, my name is Justin I’m a Veterinary student living in the Caribbean (St. Kitts). At a local fisherman “hangout” where they clean the fish, sell etc… There are some Big Tarpon hanging around 5+ ft. What is the best way to catch these, types of (lures, baits, hooks) Right now been using 40lb powerpro (baitrunner 4500) with 6ft of 80lb fluro and a 5/0 circle (jumped two both spit it one after a minute or so and multiple jumps). I just want something a tarpon could not resist it seem like they are there around noon everyday Feeeding. Any tips would be appreciated.
Justin
