You might want to consider buying used. I have a perception keowee 2 back country rigged for fishing (even when the wife comes along). if I could get someone to pay me half of what I paid three years ago Id get a solo. :lick: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h94/abcarias/IMG_1678.jpg You can reach ...

Apalach the man...no...the fisherman! http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h94/abcarias/IMG_0010.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h94/abcarias/IMG_0014.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h94/abcarias/IMG_0013.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h94/abcarias/IMG_0018.jpg He's pretty good at ca...

oops I posted on new topic. See new post for my response/fishing report.

Hey Lit and the rest of you tarpoyakers: Thanks for passing the dvd on to Rob. I had promised it to him also. Speaking of Rob, I went to a place he showed me and threw at a Tarpon 3 times yesterday morning before the fish blew up and off. The fish was coming up every few minutes (for a gulp of air) ...

Hey Lit:
Did you get one yet? Ill be coming through crawfordville about 11:30 tomorrow I'm going fishing for a couple hours tomorrow morning and will be at McDonald's about 11:30 or 12 on my way back. Can we meet then? You can call me on the cell at 491-4381.

Can anyone tell me where to get Shimano and Penn reels repaired/reworked? I am looking for quality work at a fair price? Thank you!

Many thanks to Capt Ron for his contribution. Its great to get some advise from someone with lots of experience. I dont want a tarpon to tow me too far which is why I am thinking 30lb along with a drift bag. Ive been searching the web for other advise on catching tarpon from a yak and have found ver...

That beats catching trout on a fly Ill bet. Love the shot of the grouper under the ledge.
Heres a couple I shot when I was your age and it was legal.

Apalach....if you can get the dvd to Ron after you view I'd appreciate it. He has been waiting on it a while. Thanks!!

Apalach wrote: how do you plan to rig for tarpon? I'm curious especially about line and leader types and strengths, as well as types of lures/baits. The DVD has all this in it. Get it from Lit. The only thing I can add is to make sure your knots are made well, your hooks are debarbed and sharp, your...

Lets set something up for next week - Im back Friday. Last night I caught cudas on ultralight while watching the sun set over downtown Miami (Biscayne Bay). I knew those 3 piece travel rods would come in handy one day. There were fisherman in yaks but didnt talk to them. Gotta get back to my Linux t...

This will make for good reading while Im away for a few days. Wouldnt it be great if someone with (local) knowledge shared their experience catching North Florida Tarpon (maybe fed us a few suggestions) I drowned some crabs and live mullet today along the Ocl river channel (very windy) to no avail. ...

If....I mean when I hook into a Tarpon from the yak.... I intend to put the heat on immediately. If it gets off or breaks the line...so be it. The further the fish gets from you in the beginning, the worse your chances of landing them and the longer the fight. Of course very few people can stop a 15...

Dude....How did you get your anchor down that fishes throat?....Just kiddn. Nice catch!!!

I feel it guys. I'm getting closer. Went out yesterday (Turkey Point) http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h94/abcarias/nicesunrise.jpg and blind cast my 10wt flyrod for Tarpon. This was the only taker. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h94/abcarias/seatroutonfly-1.jpg This fish actually jumped twice.....
