Went out to the US41 canals today to see what we could do. The water out there is LOW right now. Seems like everytime I go, its down a few more inches. As meteorologist Tom Johnston always says on the news "WE NEED RAIN!" With the water down, there is just not alot of productive areas. The key is to find the deepest water available. Things started out quite slow at our first Tarpon spot, but after we hit a little ledge and got a decent Snook. After that, we moved on to another Tarpon spot and thats where the action started. In 2 hours 11 Tarpon were hooked or missed, and we had some follows from LARGE Snook none under 10lbs. Most of the Tarpon were 10-20lbers, but one was a brute, an easy 50lber. All the bites were totally visual, as the fish were hitting soft plastic swimbaits in the top 2 feet of water. The bad news is that the longest any of those Tarpon stayed on was about 3 seconds!! They were either missing the hook, or just not getting stuck good enough. Swimbaits can be a tough deal on Tarpon sometimes! Definitely not the norm, but it shows you what CAN happen out there if you are in the right place at the right time, even in tough conditions!! Just wish I had pictures to share!!
