I just returned from Little Cayman Island's Southern Cross Club, where the fishing is a delightful adventure. One particular spot on the island I fished twice- once for a flats grand slam and the other for an exciting return engagement- is the landlocked lake on the island, which is Tarpon Central! In three total hours of fishing time- on two trips- i jumped eight fish and released four of them. They ranged up to fifteen pounds, and were taken on six-pound spinning tackle. Since these fish feed on Gambusia minnows, I used the 1/8 ounce yellow and the chartreuse/orange Spro Baby Bucktails. The tarpon went wild over them! My guide, Captain Buck Buchenroth, insisted we stick to no more than twenty-pound fluorocarbon leader...the results were great. The best method was to fish to rolling tarpon with a swim and pause retrieve. There's every reason to think these excellent bucktails will be great for "tarpon on minnows" everywhere!CONTACT DATA:
