Tarpon Tips and Tricks

Siver kings apppreciate warmth...no doubt about it! Today, we had a cold front ( yes, cold front!) come through, leaving the air temps in the high sixties. Fortunately, we had bay waters well into the eighties. No tarpon found on the open flats, which had winds from the northwest at 15 mph and chilly overhead air. I ran back to a mainland area in the lee that was calm and sunny: guess who I found? Two fish-one fifty and one seventy- later, I took a breath and realized how important the observation of habits and inclinations of gamefish is. A quick shot on the grassflats resulted in a two-pound and four-pound trout, and I happily called it a morning.
