OK, so lets get caught up with the last two evenings of tarpon fishing. On Monday evening April 8th, east winds @ 28 had use fishing in the Bay after making one drift outside in very rough seas. At the first spot, there were plenty of fish and they were hungry. It took about 10 minutes to get the first bite and then it was steady action. All the fish were caught on live shrimp except one, that ate a crab. Final score was 3 for 5 tarpon between 30 - 40 pounds. At the second location, once more there were plenty of fish. Live shrimp on a Hook Up jig got use 4 fish on and we landed two. So, the final score for Monday evening was 5 for 9 tarpon.<br><br>Tuesday evening April 9th, the wind was ESE @ 10 and increased all evening. By the time we were heading in, it was blowing 30. Are intensions were to strictly fish the Bay. At our first location, it was like we picked up from the previous night. Live shrimp got us 4 strikes and we landed two fish in the 40 - 50 pound class. Next spot we went 1 for 1. We checked out a third location and found no fish. Final score on Tuesday evening was 3 for 5 tarpon.<br><br>Captain Dave Kostyo<br>Knot Nancy Fishing Charters<br>305 620-5896 Charter<br>305 732-2628 Beeper<br>www.rnfl.com/knotnancy<br>nkostyo@bellsouth.net<br><br>
