As the afternoon tide would start coming in the Tarpon would start to filter into the pass in groups of 10 to 20 fish. Each day we spent the morning fishing either Snook on the beach with live bait, smaller Tarpon on the flats with Bait Busters, or we would move offshore to fish wrecks for Goliath groupers. The area around the pass also was home to Snook, Redfish, Sea Trout, and the Goliath grouper. We were fishing one of the premiere tarpon spots on the east coast, Boca Grande Pass, known for huge schools of Tarpon that moved in and out of the pass on the tides. Sunday morning came early and the coffee did its best to open our eyes with little sleep and a three hour time change our crew made it to the awaiting inshore boats ready for what the day had in store for us. We got in late Saturday night to fish Sunday and Monday with Matt Haag, well known Florida guide and part of Team Accurate Pro Staff. This year we decided to fly into Fort Meyers on the west coast of Florida to partake in some inshore fishing that included the elusive Snook, Goliath Grouper, and the coveted Silver King aka Tarpon.
