[font "Arial"][size 2]The question on the minds of many tarpon anglers is: "are the tarpon in yet?" I am happy to say that the answer is a big YES!! [
]This evening we fished Haulover Inlet using live shrimp. We didn't see any shrimp floating in the water, however, this did not make any difference to the tarpon. We landed and released 3 of the 5 fish that we hooked up. Once the shrimp begin moving with some consistency, I expect the tarpon action to get even better. Circle hooks will improve your hook up ratio greatly. Another good thing about circle hooks is that it is not necessary to bow to the fish as you would using a J style hook. Water temperature can play a key role in the availability of tarpon. Air temperature can play a key role in the comfort of the angler. Once the sun set this evening, the temperature dropped quickly. Make sure that you bring enough warm clothing. Layering is the best method to block the wind. The beauty and power of the Silver King is just awesome. Most first time anglers just stand and stare in awe when they see the Silver King make its spectacular leaps and tail walks. It is a gorgeous site to see. Now is the time to book a tarpon trip. Don't miss out on experiencing tarpon madness. Once you've caught one, you'll want to catch another and another and another.
