Want to know how to catch Tarpon? I will be happy to give you a few pointers. The first and fastest way to learn is to hire a guide for a day. Fat Cat Charters takes extra time to not only let you catch Tarpon but teaches you how.

Depending on the month say May we would start off with pin fish on a float about six foot deep. I myself try to fish eleven foot of water off the beach. This is close enough that you can see the Tarpon coming inshore or off. Shad on the bottom is great but only when the shad get to your area say June and July. Fresh shad works great on the bottom. If you cut the tail off it will not spin on the bottom in the current and tangle your line.

For Shad fishing they must be fresh! Pen 4 # works well with drag locked down tight. 50 pound line 100 pound test leader six foot long no weight.
