with tarpon as they jump u suppose to lower your rod and give them slack so no tension is on the line...that is the key to keeping a tarpon on the line...trust me...many ppl dont do this and try to keep tension on the line when they jump and usually, if not certainlt, the bait gets spit....

[TEAM ADT]

guys can you please say some more on tarpon fishing?

[meccalli]

certainly with hooks you can give slack, but from what i noticed when using a heavy lure say 1.5 oz or so(mirrolure 77m or popper), letting it flail around with slack gets it out in a hurry, i guess its dependent on gear as well, some guys going after tarpon with 80-100lb class gear(mono and braid) will definitely rip hooks on with tight lines. only the leader needs to really be heavy to avoid chaffing but all my lures got wire on it anyhow lol. keeping the lure under control and making sure the tension doesn't accelerate like crazy on the jump seems to work for me. Most of them i lost entails em going berserk when i get them to the bank and they're gone but..don't eat em so good fun and all is well

i also have the ulgystick 9ft, with a dawia opus 6000, with 180pound braid


with 360 pound test braid.


I have no poppers though.

Can you recommend something?

[meccalli]

unless you going after killer whales and gyarados, you'll need 20-40lb mono and if you fishing crazy structure and want security, 80lb braid works. the rod can work, my grandfather catching tarps on a bamboo rod for years lol, but you'll need a good reel with ample and durable drag.
umm you can usually just livebait with a circle, crab/mullet/ herring..as for lures any shallow diving, japanese minnow profile lures work like a yo-zuri crystal minnow, rapala x-rap(trusted dearly).

to tell you, I got it on a deal, like 50usd for the 2 rolls of 300yards each lol

both are very thin and light, the 180 is comparable to 20lbs mono, and the 360 comparable to 40lbs mono lol




ok so when you guys going tarpon fishing? tell me, i wanna organise to move, i think me and venom have a trip down mayaro tomorrow lol

[Smeed]

Aye fellas....l heading on de north coast on Thursday (trying something from shore) .... Wifey got me one of the inflatable kayaks from price smart, tried it up marianne over the weekend. It's pretty stable and easy to manuever, just kinda scared to land a fish in it.

Anyhow I figure we heading up Damien's bay or cuevas early....once sun hot we go move over to abercrombie and den end up blanchi. Anyone on dat side on Thursday?

Ohho and I got some monster bites at marianne..... Didn't manage to land anything huge...but busted a few leaders trying to land them. I figure I hadda walk wid some light wire next time, 20 - 40 lb fluoro wasn't holding. Didn't fray but seemed to get cut just when the fish was in about 1ft of water.

Other than dat a fish finder rig was doing the trick - 2oz sliding egg sinker on the braided main line, joined to 20 lb fluoro leader with a small ball bearing swivel. A small circle hook baited with bonito chunks was most successful... Got the fish right in the corner of the mouth every time.

Anyhow enuff blabbing.... Who heading up dat side or wanna make de run hit a pm. I go post pics of de gear and yak.

Peace!!

[meccalli]

the river or sea? i caught a big sting ray from shore in marianne's and a small pomp a few years ago.

[ryan99tt]

well i heading down south tomorow so i doubt i guh make dat mission....by d way, where is marianne?

[meccalli]

is a lil area reserved by the residents there, believe the area is blanchicheusse.

[ryan99tt]

kool...i believe i went there to fish already....

[TEAM ADT]

all right, so we on for tomorrow, smeed, i will call u today

[Razkal]

be careful up damien's bay with the canoe...i was there on sunday, and the shore break was angry, almost got flipped coming back onto shore. try to minimize gear you take and definitely carry a life jacket. flipping happens, so be prepared always!
