Hey Paul, do you do much tarpon fishing down there? How do you go about it? The area I fish doesn't have "flats" or bays like you guys have.
I saw this Tarpon Tournament on TV and it was crazy. 300 boats with in like 10 feet of each other. They'd hook into a tarpon and battle between the boats. Then they got him to the boat, they lip hooked him drug him to the beach to be weighed, then let go. It didn't really show the fishing process, I wonder how they were targeting them. They couldn't have been sight fishing with all those boats. Drifting a live bait maybe? You ever seen a tarpon tournament like that before?
