How do the tarpon get into those lakes (assuming that they're landlocked?). I know that they can get into cenotes and such through underground streams, but that's looking like an artificial pond/lake. Do they stock them?

There are many theories. But I have no clue, really. There is a tiny section of water that connects to the channels, but is really nothing but marsh. Ankle deep on a high water day. Maybe it was a stronger connection at one time. I would tell people how I'm after the Tarpon and they would laugh."There's no Tarpon in there, silly"....Ugh, well.... I love this lake. Bass, Blue gill, peacocks, gar, carp, catfish, Mayan cichlids, Tarpon, of course, and I've caught a few fish that I couldn't even identify. Best lake I've ever fished. And it's not even close. |

It almost looks like a shop job... THAT big sucker out of what looks like a golf course foul? You Florida ****ers, ya lucky ****s. Incredible catch, tremendous size... that's almost like what the asian carp are around here, huge mfers that can kill the ecosystem around the local fish through sheer eating volume. BTW, do you ever get down to the ocean/brackish waters to fish? I'm moving to Florida before I die, and I wanna know what to use for those secretive little brackish/ocean waters down there |

That works for Bass, but I prefer lure fishing for those guys. I like BIG worms (10"+) in the summer. Texas rigged. Love using Buzzbaits for big bass, as well. The brighter it is outside the brighter the bait. Example: Full sun=White. Pitch dark=black. Applies to all lures. One of the biggest tips is to find the set up that is right for you, and use the right line and lure weight for that set up. I like a Med/Hev pole with fast action and 10-14lb reel, because you want to be able to feel your lure on the bottom of the water and immediately feel a fish strike. Always use a flourocarbon leader if using braided line (does not apply to buzz bait because the line is always out of the water). Big fish get that way for a reason and will not bite something that they can clearly see a line attached to. FC line is invisible to fish. Braided line and a stiff pole is best for buzzbaits because the tip flexing and line stretching will interrupt a smooth run through the water. When/If you get to Pensacola, let me know, I'll point you toward a great brackish area with monster bass. |
