BIG Tampa Bay Skyway Tarpon - Fishing with cut Threadfins
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- Tarpon fishing at the Tampa Bay Skyway Bridge is a always an awesome event. Every Spring, the mighty Silver King makes his annual journey North along the Florida Coast. One of the several pit stops is Tampa Bay. When the fish start piling into the bay, they often end up in huge schools at the Skyway Bridge in the lower part of Tampa Bay. Before the big Hill Tides of late spring, the tarpon feed heavily on the big schools of threadfin herring that have also poured into the bay. Using cut threadfins to chum up the tarpon and drifting back big pieces of cut bait and some live bait is a great way to hookup on the Silver King.
In this video I linked up with Captain Matt Luttman of Inshore Action Charters ( inshoreactioncharters.com ) and his good friend Jessie to put in some work on tarpon. The bite was really good and we all worked together to make it happen.

Great video! Really cool seeing Captain Matt on here he's a local dude for sure!
He's a great guy and awesome guide.
He put my brother on tarpon back in the day in the yak!talking 20 years ago
Sounds right!
I saw that boat out their there. Awesome! I just move my boat away if i see someone's fish coming to close in my direction. I'll tell you this, when I'm hooked up, I enjoy not having to pass my rod under somebody else's anchor line
Amen! We had a tangle with a fish on but we were able to free it.
Hey yo captain Jo.. been working out much your guns were busting out your shirt!! 👍🏼keep up the great videos
No weights no dates!
Dam ! My arm’s hurt just watching y’all ! Now let’s put one on the fly rod ! 👍🏼
Haha its a workout! I dont own a flyrod and would be hopeless with one, lol.
@@HeadFirstFishing , this video was great , not only informative but the slow mo shots and jumps were excellent, even when capt. mat took a shot to the head “ouch” ! You might have to get some instruction from Cliff at St Pete Outfitters, and a flyrod not only for tarpon but every day fishing , it’s next level, you just got a new Sub 👍🏼
Hey Thanks very much, glad to hear you like the editing and overall presentation. Maybe I'll dabble in fly fishing sometime soon with cliff and make another video. Thanks for subscribing.
Nothing better than a good old tarpon fight. Nice video, brother.
Hard to beat. It was a great day!
This was a good edit, I may reach out to him for a collab.
Matt is a top notch Captain.
Thanks btw, one of my proudest.
Awesome Video once again Capt. Joe.
Thanks brother. If you could throw the link up on your Facebook or share it elsewhere. Would love to see this get the attention it deserves.
Great video. Love the slow mo!
The slow motion shots are always a crowd pleaser. Favorite part?
Tarpon where hitting in last week April from the bridge. Very early . great fun!
Got one today :)
@@HeadFirstFishing Sweet! Look forward to the vid
Just a cell phone clip.
Hola mi amigo saludos esos tarpon son muy fuertes,greetings and blessings my friend nice catch 👍😀
Thank you as usual :)
Excellent video
What was your favorite part?
الفيديو جميل أنا أيضا صياد احب كثيرا صيد السمك بالتوفيق ان شاء الله
Bad ass video. Very informative!!
Thank you! Favorite part?
@@HeadFirstFishing my favorite is just learning the methods used to catch them at the bridge. Ive always caught them around Egmont with crabs and never knew exactly how they caught them consistently at the Skyway! Learned a ton through this video! Making me want to hit the bridge now to try it out.
There's a few at the bridge.
@@HeadFirstFishing for sure! I like those under 100lbs fish a little easier to tackle. What camera are you using to record your videos with? They video quality is awesome!
Sony as7iii
Nice
Thanks, I worked hard on this video!
Great video joe! How much threadfin do you need to fish like that? And how much chum did you put out?
You'll need about 5 gallons cut up per hour of fishing. We tossed over some chum every 20 to 30 seconds. Just keep it steady without burning through it too fast.
We fished for about 4 hrs and went through probably 3 or 4 buckets. Hooked probably 12 fish and chased half of them.
WOW that's a lot of work
Yep, it works though
Did you also hook up on the sharks? Seems to be my thing right now.
No sharks this trip
What time of year was this fellas… Thanks
What rod are you using?
Star rods and St croix
I want to know what chair was that?? Where can I find it??? The seat was fire
Deck gear
Can you suggest a boat design and specs for fishing the bay and Intercoastal safely?
Lots of choices out there. 23 to 25 ft is ideal.
What what lowarance unit is that I am looking at different side scan units?
HDS 9
I want to go tarpon fishing I’ve got a couple but its May do you know if they’re back at the sky
Yep
Sick vid! Not a fan of those FFP reels though
They havent failed me yet.
Thanks :)
Do you think it's safe to kayak at the skyway or no?
On a very nice day, yes. Just have your flag up.
@@HeadFirstFishing awesome thanks. Like your vids dude
Thanks man!
What lb leader do y’all use when slack lining
50 to 60
@@HeadFirstFishing ight thanks brother
Np
pound for pound does a tarpon or a blacktip rip more line?
Thats a tough one. Tarpon are more of a magnificent fish. Blacktips can scream some line and spinjump which is cool.
@@HeadFirstFishing true haha i only have experience with blacktips.. i just bought a spinfisher vi 6500 with 40lb braid for fishing for tarpon from land. Do you think this reel can handle a 200lb tarpon or might i get spooled?
From land that would be tough.
@@HeadFirstFishing man haha I bought it specifically for landing a monster tarpon.. is your concern the line capacity?
A 200 lb tarpon is huge.
