"Tarpon Fishing Charters in Miami at Their Best"

Nick Mau, his wife, and 2 other friends got into some great tarpon action during their evening trip. Nick and his wife started things off with a double header. They both did an outstanding job of fighting their fish as the tide pushed us into the main channel at Government Cut. The next three fish were singles. Along the way we also caught a yellowtail and bluerunner. Final count for the evening was 4 for 5.

Victor Osnaya and Luis Gonzalez started their evening tarpon trip off with a large jack crevalle. Luis was amazed at how hard it fought. I told him he hasn’t seen nothing yet. Wait till the tarpon turn on. He found out shortly thereafter what I was talking about. Final tarpon count for the evening was 2 for 4.

Tom Mathias and his group also saw some great tarpon action. It started with the first drift and remainder fairly steady throughout the evening. The final tarpon count was 4 for 5.

Tino Poo and his group caught yellowtail snapper, jack crevalle, blue runners and went 1 for 2 on tarpon during their evening trip.

Jewon Wee, Ken Lipscomb, Joe Steitz, and Mike Cranor saw the highs and lows of tarpon fishing. The first tarpon was caught and released. The second one gave us a great fight and acted like it knew where it wanted to go when it cut us off on the chain that holds one of the markers along the edge of Government Cut channel. The third tarpon also seemed to have our number when it found an obstruction on the bottom and cut us off. We also caught yellowtail snapper and ladyfish.

Patrick Picciotto made the most of the one shot he had during his tarpon trip. The 80 pound fish ran us all over the flats area and then went into the main channel where Patrick slugged it out. It was a back and forth battle for a long time. Each time the fish got close and then ran off, the look on Patrick’s face was one of amazement. He couldn’t believe how hard the tarpon pulled and the stamina the fish had. I have to extend a THANK YOU to the group on the Paramount boat. Our fish ran under their boat and the captain quickly raised his engine out of the water so our line could clear. His quick action made it possible for Patrick to land and release his first tarpon.

This evening it was Raul and Cary Bosque, along with Andre Figueroa, and Nicole Morales. Raul started things off with his tarpon. Then it was Andre’s turn. The final fish of the evening gave us one jump before throwing the hook. Final count was 2 for 3 tarpon.

Shaun Hoskins and Lu Vines had one whale of an evening. Within minutes of putting out the first bait, Shaun was hooked up to 95 pounds of silver dynamite that didn’t want anything to do with us. The fish made a mad dash for the drop off and almost succeeded in beating us there. After releasing the silver beauty, we made one drift without getting a hit. Then it was back to doing battle with a larger tarpon. After it got dark, we had a hit on every drift. The last fish of the evening was a 120 pound brute that just wouldn’t give up. Shaun did everything he could to pressure the fish. The tarpon just reacted by stripping off another 50 yards of line. It was back and forth and back and forth for what seemed like an eternity. When we finally released the beast, Shaun said he had enough and we called it an evening. Final count was 3 for 4 fish in the 95 – 120 pound class.
