Every tarpon fisherman dreams of the day when all the conditions are right, the tarpon are in solid, they are hungry and feeding. This evening was just one of those times. We started on the south side of Government Cut and made several drifts with no results. After it got dark, I moved to the north side and the fun began. Every drift with the exception of a couple had us hooked up and fighting tarpon in the 60 - 100 pound class. Jim Lefevre from Stuart, Florida got a real workout tonight. We had two fish that made jumps at boat side that were within touching distance and had us thinking the tarpon might join us in the boat. Another ran straight for the shoreline and seemed to try and beach itself. The final total at the end of the evening was 10 for 13. All our fish were caught on live shrimp using Eagle Claw L197 5/0 circle hooks.
