This time of year, the tarpon start showing up in numbers in Biscayne Bay.
For bait, I use blue crabs suspended below a float, on a 7/0 circle hook. Attached to the circle hook, I use roughly 5 feet of 50 lb. fluorocarbon leader.
I use 6-7 foot medium-heavy rods and size 5000 or 6000 spinning reels spooled with 30 lb. braid.
The fish have been biting on the outgoing tide. This particular night we caught 6. The video below is of the 5th fish. Enjoy!
