Yup. One of the fascinating and challenging things about inshore saltwater fishing is the fact that the fish are always looking for a particular salinity, or more accurately, a salt/fresh combination. Places like Florida and South Texas are easy to fish for tarpon and snook because fresh water is harder to find, concentrated in the passes and channels. The big tarpon (200lb plus) are migratory and circle the entire Gulf every year. It's not unusual to encounter schools of thousands of them offshore in 40' of water and it's even less unusual to look for them for weeks without finding a fish.
One thing is for certain. You better be prepared in a lot of ways to land a really big tarpon in deep water.
I wish was better at it, but I'm trying.
