Tarpon at St Marks

[Terrier]

I was fly fishing the bar at St Marks yesterday and while I caught nothing I saw what looked like a pod of tarpon swim bay - fins were like miniature shark fins. Something had been busting baitfish off and on all morning - I figured they were spanish until one came completely out of the water, around 4 feet long - my first I thought was that it was a king mackerel but "upon further review" realized it couldn't be due to the location and all the freshwater rolling down the river. Plus it was too chunky. So if you want to wadefish for Tarpon try St Marks. Watch out for the gators - there were two hanging out at the bar.

Saw some small gators in Panacea as well. Makes me want some fried gator tail, mmmm

Which bar do you mean? The oyster bars?

The wash bar by the boat ramp channel -it's awash at high tide, but normally high and dry on the low.
