People love to catch tarpon in shallow water, 20' or less, because they jump themselves to death. The REALLY big tarpon are migratory and ain't gonna fall for that.






Lt. I’m thinking in your business you may have heard of or possibly met Poppa Joe Chouest. Tarpon is one of his major passions. Wherever they are, he is.

I believe his favorite artificial for Tarpon is Coon Pops.


Named after Capt. Coon. I'm no tarpon expert. I'm the marsh guy. I am I obsessed with them though. I wish I could post some of my videos of thousands of them feeding, but the video thingee says the files are too big.

The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
