Fished with Jim and Tom for day two. We started out on the flats and released a few nice lemon sharks, including a beauty that was close to 100 pounds. We also released a bonnet head shark as well. These fish were all caught sight fishing. Watching that big shark eat was awesome! We turn moved from the flats and caught some jacks and snappers. We also hooked and jumped a nice tarpon that we fought for quite a while. The tarpon broke off after it wore through the leader. Tarpon fishing has been excellent and we are averaging more than one tarpon to the boat every weekend. This is in addition to the others that we hook and lose. Pro Tip: When fishing a jig, give it sufficient time to fall after jigging it. Most bites occur on the drop and if you jig it to soon you will miss out on bites that you would have had if you slowed things down.
