These are perfect setups, I fish them a few hundred yards off the beach in 20 foot of water. My setup is a Van Staal VR201 spooled with 450 yards of 50lb braid on a Heavy St. Croix 8ft. Avid Inshore. Typically use a similar float setup on 80lb FC snell notting 7/0 circles. Absolute best (reasonable) baits for the big boys are 7-8 inch mullet but bigger pins generally do the same trick.
I fish by myself and it’s always a bit tricky, I’ve hooked into fish where the above setup comes close to being inadequate so I can’t really go lighter as chasing is very difficult. Just want to add a fool proof method, if you find them on the bait pods, you can chum them up to where casting/finesse is zero issue, they are finicky at status quo but fired up have zero qualms about literally anything. I’ve just thrown a baited hook off the back of the boat on my big senator rig and they take it 20 feet from the motor, those big tuna/shark setups are definitely healthier for them and those first 5-6 minutes are just as exciting. Thanks Captain, love the videos.
Teramar is a beast of a rod hooked a tarpon with a smaller rating and handled like a champ ..
Lots of great tips. Thanks 👍
Great information! Thank you.
Those Teramar double X’s really are fantastic rods. Huge backbone while still having great action and feel. They also cast a mile.
excellent tips
Thanks Captain!
Great tips! I love going after tarpon but honestly I normally get beat by the fish lol
Thanks for the tips
Excellent video
I’ve started to hook them on 5 inch paddle tails off of bridges lately
Like hearing this news
Blue PowerPro doesn't "blend in" in Charlotte Harbor! Wish they'd reintroduce Timber Brown again!! Till then it's their competitors mono. Looking forward to your episode on baitcasters, can't imagine holding a 8,000, 10,000 size spinner...
Loved Timber brown! I still have half a spool. Great blackwater color.
You should mention about reverse gear is it necessary or ? And what about Shimano nasci model 5000 how good is it??!
Could the 10k be paired with the xh just as well as the xxh? Looking to purchase one of the two tomorrow.
I have the 2nd setup but with a 6000XG TwinPower SW. I think ima have to go and get a 8000 Saragosa.
Which of these setups would be ideal for tarpon specifically down in the keys?
So I’ve been curious so if you use this tarpon setup can it basically catch anything in the bay or inshore fishing Like drum snook obviously tarpon do you think Black tips and other smaller sharks could be caught on these Combos ?
Definitely handle sharks of similar size of tarpon
@@flatsclasscharters okay great thank you
Do you think the fishing season for tarpon is the same throughout the Gulf of Mexico? I live in Yucatan by the way. Nice video!
There will be some variation in the season determined by latitude for sure
What line would you recommend for a 40-80 pound line rating rod? For tarpon
Really depends on the scenario and species you are challenged with but 40lb is more than adequate
In one shot you have a Kicker Crab, then another with a Paddle Tail.. both nose hooked.. is there another video showing that rigging or can you explain ?
Sandy- I’m going to do an on the water video on this rigging coming up soon
what happened to the mercury outboard dont tell me you had problems
Not the best choice for my Pro… Yamaha 70 is ideal for my smaller HB skiffs
CA, what brand of floats are those?
Not sure just a generic styro cork
Why double Paloma’s in one and a snell in the other?
Just to show that both knots are strong and secure for tarpon fishing. But ultimately your choice
What about shrimp?
The tip about not letting the tarpon get a breath sounds good for landing them quickly but could it kill them? I know they have to breathe air to survive.
It's not gonna hurt them, they "breathe" underwater with their gills, but also can gulp air at the surface (unlike most fish) to get the extra boost. You're not gonna kill them by denying them the atmospheric gulp.
@@gisellesbikeseat actually I remember hearing that tarpon will die after 12 hours of not having access to air to breath. They can't survive in an aquarium without a space to get a breath.
@comfortablynumb9342 that may be true, but using the proper size tackle will limit the fight to a humane time frame. Of course you'll have to revive the fish, but it's rare for them to die unless you've really screwed up
I just wish all of this stuff wasn’t made in China.
St. Croix Avid Inshore series and their Freshwater Premier Musky are great made in USA alternatives.
