How To Catch Tough Bite Tarpon - Flats Class

In this video, captian C.A. Richardson will be going over how to catch tarpon when the bite is tough. Early in the season it can still be very hard to catch Tarpon consistently. I’m going to show you in this video a few tips and tricks on how to be more affective. Let me know in the comments below if you’ve start your tarpon season yet this year.

Always appreciate you dropping the knowledge Captain. The tarpon were everywhere yesterday, getting them to bite was no problem, getting them to the boat was a different story. The redfish eye hook with that bigger gap is key.

Love the tips CA !

Man, I’m in flip flops and board shorts up here in Virginia! The water in the ware river and mobjack bay is warm enough I stood with my feet in in crocs and didn’t get cold.

Good tips there - thank you! I have never used the bimini, but have you tried the FG knot? Excellent too!

Hey there new subscriber here , loved the last video I saw of yours . I had a quick question for you , I’m planning on purchasing a new set up and was wondering what lb test to use and if to use a leader or not and if so what lb test and what kind of line . I was recommended to use seauger threadlock fishing line but that was my first time ever hearing of it . Thanks In advance 😎

[@flatsclasscharters]

I generally always use some type of leader for all of my fishing. Average weight leader for me late Spring through late Fall is 30lb leader tied to main line with a Reverse Albright Knot. Most of my spin gear for flats has 8-10lb main line.

[@A.S_5050]

Awesome thank you for the input it’s very much appreciated

What colors suggested in the darker Jerk Shads ?

Hi CA. Shimano Tranx makes two gear ratio reels, a 5.8:1 and a 7.6:1. Which one would you prefer for tarpon? Thanks

[@2aamerica329]

Don’t be envious over pressured keys tarpon are extremely difficult to catch and believe me I’ve tried everything on every video. They are smart and pretty much will only eat live bait.

Any advice on landlocked canal tarpon south Fl? I seem to get on them in areas for coue weeks then theu dissapear and gar take over. Live shiners and plastics are baits
