Three Tarpon on Two Days in July
It always looks easier on the video, but had to work and deal with scorching heat to land three fish in two days (not counting ladyfish). All of the tarpon were landed and released in less than 8 minutes according to my GoPro.

Baby Tarpon Mother Lode
Переглядів 232Місяць тому
In a spot I never fish I found a mother load of baby and medium sized tarpon feeding on probably micro baits. They were so thick, I figured a couple would find a baitfish fly among them. It was an amazing hour and a half.

Tarpon in Two Days in May w Capt Gregg McKee
Переглядів 1313 місяці тому
Fly fished for tarpon for two days around a full moon with Capt. Gregg McKee out of Matlacha, FL. We saw lots of tarpon, but they were tough especially in the clear water. I had a lot of refusals. Even switched from a 60 pound bite tippet to a 40 pound the second day and no love except for one in off colored water that broke off.
Tarpon Escapes Shark Attack
Переглядів 1523 місяці тому
Never had a shark attack a juvenile tarpon before in the flats. I didn't recognize it was a shark until it was over. The tarpon made a quick run after the shark missed it and escaped unharmed. I was going to break it off, but the shark seemed to have disappeared. The tarpon was still strong and shortly after the this event, it pulled out

      @DanFerraris 9 місяців тому

      You can use ground beef and pork plus sausage with sage, rosemary and thyme or you can make a roast of beef and pork instead. There is no recipe with amounts. It is all by eye. Roughly beef to pork to sausage 3:3:1 and roughly 3+ tablespoons of dry rosemary, thyme and sage. Often I add beef bullion for additional flavor. It is salty enough that I don't add salt. Cream cheese or Parmesan is optional as is the parsley and basil. It is important to grind or process the mixture. It needs to be fine or they will be difficult to stuff. The pasta is one egg to each cup of all purpose flour. Hope that helps

    • @DanFerraris

      If I rig the rod ahead I use mono, but if I switch from a baitfish pattern, I don’t bother and just leave the fluorocarbon on. I don’t think it makes much difference.
