Islamorada Tarpon

Fished last Monday with the Mikes. We caught a bunch of fish including jacks, snappers, grouper, and more. The highlight of the day was a nice tarpon that little Mike caught. I included an old picture of little Mike and one of his first tarpon he caught with me years ago. Pro Tip: Tarpon mouths are rock hard. There are only a few places that a hook will stick. One of the best places is called the "button'. It is a small soft spot on the roof of the tarpon's mouth. Jigs are especially good at finding this spot and sticking there.
