Here's a few. I don't keep the camera too handy when fishing by myself, but you get the idea.
I catch the big tarpon on white streamers. I catch the baby tarpon during daylight hours on gurglers, toads, and other top water "flies." Cudas on long green streamers. Night tarpon and snook on shrimp patterns fished within a couple inches of the surface.
All of these were caught with an 8-weight, though that big one was an "accident" because I didn't have the 10-wt. rigged and ready when I saw him, and I HAD to toss the fly on the 8-wt. to him because he was just laying there asking to be caught. He ate it, and it was a long haul of nearly 30 minutes to get a grip on him.
