Tipo de Agua: Agua salada
Especies: Tarpón
With all the recent rain fall in South Florida, it has caused the levees to open either partially, half way or fully. They are more open than in recent years, especially in Miami. This causes the transitional species such as snook & tarpon, among others to be present in both fresh & saltwater. Although this report is in "saltwater", it is actually a "FRESHWATER" report on tarpon, found more than 25 miles inland. Far from the brackish waters found very close to the Bay or Atlantic Ocean East side, The Gulf west side. There wasn't a freshwater tarpon selection.
Dinks to yeralings can be found almost anywhere. Look for structure related areas like limestone points with a good drop or depth, bridges, culverts or pilings.

Dinks to yeralings can be found almost anywhere. Look for structure related areas like limestone points with a good drop or depth, bridges, culverts or pilings. Smaller tarpons usually travel in small schools, if you get shorts strikes or don't come tight. Try rolling your line back out or make a quick shoot to keep them in the area, often times the same tarpon or one of his buddies will fight over the fly & you'll eventually get tight.
I don't like to spend too much time in any one area, regardless if I'm on land fishing on foot, by kayak or small personal water craft (PWC). Either way, stealth is the main game just like any other way of targeting these elusive fish. I cannot stress how much sound travels through the air, over water & even through concrete or limestone. Conditioning is the key to my patterns, notice them, note them & put the puzzle pieces together for the win. Everyone likes to catch a nice fish but its the hunt that keeps me coming back but the fun doesn't stop there. Can I repeat the pattern & be consistent?
I'll let you find the rest of the puzzle pieces & hope to read your report. If you are having a hard time or will be in the Miami, florida area & would like to know more, feel free to contact me. I also have a guide page under "Hai Truong Fishing".
