Went out of Alligator Pt. fished falling tide with two buddies of mine. About 6-8 ft. of water seemed to be the ticket. Caught about 12 trout in the 18-24 inch slot. Never seen anything quite like that . Every trout we pulled up was long and fat. Biggest one weighed about 3 1/2 pounds. Also caught some macks and the always dreaded ladyfish. Went and fished docks around Marine Lab and caught some undersized redfish. Highlight of the weekend was jumping a tarpon on 10 lb test. Got two jumps before he broke me off. Had most success believe it or not on 5 inch Yozuri Minnow.

What a coincidence! I went to the San Marcos fort after work 5/3/07 and was throwing a Zara Spook from shore on a small Penn combo with 10lb test. I likewise jumped a tarpon, and actually got it to shore. I laid it down too close to the water to measure and photograph, and it flopped back in the water, bit through my line and swam off with my Spook! Lesson learned... still shocked that I hooked one from shore that far up the river.

More tarpon stories. excellent.

who needs the Keys for Tarpon when we have Lanark?

There are some fat trout at AP/LNK this year. Tons of bait.

Great trip.
