Default Tarpon fishing?

hi maxine , i live very close to the skyway bridge at the mouth of tampa
bay . i couldnt possibly recommend a better fishing spot for HUGE tarpon
!! right now they are lined up aong the pier (old bridge) like cord wood
....... the entire 7 miles of pier mind you . and as for 100 lbs ......
sorry but that aint nothing .. even my 4 y/o has hooked a silver king
.... heehee proud mom here ! but then again youre going for ultra light
tackle you might want a smaller fish . an amusing story .... a few weeks
ago , i think about two weeks , a young man was pulled right over the
side of the skyway ! he hooked into something large . i suspect a good
size tarpon or possibly a shark , and goliath grouper arnt unheard of at
the bridge . the coast guard had to come recue him as the tides rip thru
there . when asked what happened he said " its a brand new pole !!! i
couldnt let go of it !!" the coast gaurd said when they picked him up
from the pilings he was still holding his brand new rod , lol . this guy
btw weighed over 275 so you can imagine the size of the fish that pulled
him over !!! ................................ best to all ,
Nan
