Where are you going to be fishing in Florida? Gulf or Atlantic coast? April, that's a good time to go....try for a Tarpon, man, they'll be around!! Take a 10/11 weight and a reel with at least 200 yards of 30 lb. backing and see if you can hold on to a silver monster for more than 5 seconds. I guarantee it'll be the most exciting 5 seconds of your life. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 I'll be in Orlando and will be fishing the mosquito lagoon and area. I asked him about juvi tarpon in the area and he said that there is a chance that we can hook a few but he also said that due to a big cold front that moved in alot of the juvies got trapped in shallow waters and said that they could have a bad season for fishing them. I was thinking about fishing for the larger ones but I will would have to spend more money. The size of the Reds that these guys are catching will be more than enough! Here's the guide that I will be going with http://www.flataddicted.com/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMasson Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Baby tarpon are fun to catch...all the jumping and action with only 1/4 of the battle and a much higher chance of actually landing one. EDIT: This is what I'm talking about! James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reevesr1 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 LK2, Indian River is world famous for BIG schools of BIG redfish. You tie into one of those 30+" bad boys on a fly rod, be prepared! It will be a total hoot. Don't bypass the seatrout (or Specks) either. Totally different type of fight, but really fun too. I've never caught a snook. You'll be one up on me. You are in for one fine time!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: This is what I'm talking about! James Dude I saw that vid a couple of months ago and when I saw that fly land and that tarpon crashed that fly I was all like "THAT WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT"! that trip will be next year when I get a bigger rod for those bad boys! Those fish would probably crush my 8wt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those fish would probably crush my 8wt! Yeah, that's a pretty good strike. Too bad the fish didn't jump so you could actually see how big it was. Yeah, an 8wt is a little light and would probably end up in more pieces than the manufacturer originally intended. Although, I knew a guy in Florida that would go after tarpon with an 8wt. Crazy if you ask me but this guy was GOOD and never broke a rod...at least that I saw. I wouldn't go out after big tarpon with less than a 10wt.
