I thought this front might be the last window for us rock hoppers to see a big school of migrating tarpon. Sure enough, about the last hour of light they came in and started rolling. Jumped three; landed two. Within a 48 hour span I was landing tarpon in 78 degree weather and watching my daughter play with our 8 month old lab in 2 inches of snow in San Antonio.
The front hit about an hour and a half after this picture was taken.
running and gunning again this year near the jetties and in the alley; gtown to S L Pass. I would also like to talk to one of those R.J.T.W. Anglers...... That pic is every tarpon anglers dream.
you know that I don't about when, where, and how to find and hookup with the silver Kings. it been a few years since I catch/r/released one. I fish out of galveston but have gone to POC without any sightings and PIsb and hooked up to 4 and boated one. Its the only thing on my bucket list: to catch/release one from my boat or in the galveston area or both at the same time.
It?s no big secret. 78 plus degree water. Good tidal movement. Bait present. And you hope to see them roll every once in a while. It?s one of the few glimmers (pun intended) of hope that you?ll hook up after hours of casting. Especially when you?re slinging a 10wt.
Definitely addicting though. The first time i pulled one from the water it just blew my mind. Freaking megatron looking things just destroying **** around the peasant redfish and trout.
