  • Ight Fishaholic's so ten years ago I traveled to Saint Martin with my family and fished for Tarpon but failed to succeed in actually catching one. So I returned and achieved my childhood dream and caught some crazy silver kings! Tarpon are awesome fish and you should definitely pursue if you get the chance. Put it on your Bucket List!

    For landing more tarpon, some tips are: loosen your drag, bow your rod on the jumps, replace the trebs with singles, use mono leader not flouro (for a little bit of stretch). ive been tarpon fishing for years and wish i knew all of this when I started out.

    I gotta say, of the many fishing channels I watch on UA-cam, you and John Skinner are the two most passionate and obsessive anglers. You both seem to capture the mind of an angler. I feel like I'm actually fishing when I watch you guys. Good job.

    Its better if you use one hook baits like a swimbait, you can hit them so much harder and the hook will penetrate better. Also point the rod towards the fish when it jumps. Bow to the king

      Don’t bow that’s for fly fishing bitches. You can just pull on them and turn their head when they hit the water. Just don’t pull mid jump or you will break the line.

    Thank you for this. I went to saint Maartin and the fish in that canal have tripled in size. After three days and plenty of break-offs and lures spit back at me, along with three trips to the tackle shops, I finally caught and landed a tarpon about 25-30 lbs. It took a bucktail! Never was able to hook one on a treble hook. I wanted to post a picture but could not figure it out!
