Finally did my bucket list trip this week and hit up Clearwater for the Tarpon run. My friend who runs charters told me to prepare for an A*s Kicking but I had no idea that he meant that literally!
We went 2-6 bagging a 110 and 184 pound Tarpon that took 1 and 2.5 hours to haul in. Incredible runs and jumps from these beasts! After the 184 my back and hands had nothing left so we spent an hour casting for trout in the back channels lol. Incredible experience and cant wait to do it again when I recover lol

Went to the show on Saturday and I'll echo what was said here. Not many tackle areas and lots of ATV's. I miss the days with the Arena full of events. On the plus side my kid caught a trout and was ecstatic so that made the day worthwhile
That sucks sorry to hear that. I lost my dream job at the beginning of the pandemic due to restrictions. Luckily I found something else but it still hurt.
Ive lost what I thought this country was all about which is the freedom to make your own choices and travel and work without worrying that the government wont step in and take everything away from you if you didn't obey.
Put it this way, pre March 2020 I was a staunch Liberal Trudeau voter(and I know we had our disagreements in the past because I was so left Chris lol). Now Im embarrassed that I thought that way.
Honestly you are better off posting your stuff on FB marketplace and joining some buy and sell fishing groups. The amount of time, effort and luck it takes to grow an instagram these days wouldn't be worth it. FB you can be up, running and selling quite quickly.
Such a great tactic for this time of year. I was slaying them last weekend with a 3inch tube on a Ned rig dragging the bottom. The slower the better this time of year!
