2024 Florida Panhandle Tarpon Season

The Tarpon fishing out of Apalachicola ,Carrabelle, St George Island  and Cape Sand Blas was great this season. We had our trying weather pattern days but that's what you get when you fish in the salt water. We always try to site fish with Fly but I did have a few clients that choose spin gear for their day on the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. We used Hogy soft plastics while spin fishing for the big Tarpon . They go nuts when they see the pink with green eel pattern swimming by them . I had trouble keeping the fish hooked up so I started using circle hooks to stay connected to the fish longer. Guiding in the Florida Panhandle can be challenging due to the way we have to fish in basically more open waters but they do like to bite up here.
