Consistent good tarpon action continued this evening. Over the weekend, the tarpon action was after the sun went down. This evening, the action began when the sun got low in the sky and continued on after dark. Government Cut on the south side is where all the action took place. Live crabs where the bait of choice this evening. Our first strike came when the sun was setting. The 90 pound tarpon put on a good show and made it to the main channel where we released it. The next drift had us hooked up to a 100 pound fish that also made it to the main channel. The fish made 4 spectacular jumps during the fight and worked it way to in front of the Miami Beach marina before we released the fish. Back out to the south side and one drift with no strikes. We set up our last drift of the evening and were enjoying some great fish stories conversation when the 20# spinning outfit sang out again. We made quick work of a stubborn 80 pound tarpon and enjoyed a beautiful ride back to Spinnaker Marina via Biscayne Bay.<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>
