5.22.2008 Biscayne Bay Sharkin' and Tarpon

Eric battling his first Biscayne Bay Black Tip shark

The past few weeks have produced some of the best Biscayne Bay shark fishing i've seen in a long time. We've been successfully luring sizeable black tip, lemon, bull, and hammerhead sharks in and around Key Biscayne on the outgoing tide. Fresh bonito chunks for sharks and live crabs for tarpon has been the name of the game in the evenings. Boat side and grinning for the photo

The currents bring a mixed bag of shark action, but the tarpon have been holding pretty close to the bear cut bridge in the evenings. For every fish we connect with, on average, we jump at least two to three. A 80# - 100# silver king having a circle hook "realization"

The tarpon are still moving through in decent numbers, and we've been connecting well. To get ready for your evening tarpon adventure, be sure to read this article on Tarpon Fighting Techniques. Landing your first tarpon is no easy task, and you can count on being taken for quite a run!

Whoa! Big fish!
