Snook, Trout, Redfish, Tarpon, Flounder, Grouper, you name it..
I will be more then happy to take you out and catch 100lb ++ Tarpon.
After about your third one, you will say OK, what can we catch that
we can EAT!!!! Nowwww, that is what I'm talking about!
Tarpon for some are a trophy.. To me they are a true pain in the butt!!
If I hook a Tarpon while Snook fishing, I will drop the rod tip in hopes that it comes off!! ... Tarpon are fun to catch, but it wears off real quick!
Tarpon tags are required to keep one to have mounted these days
here in Florida. I think it is still around $50 bucks for the tag...
I have several mounts from years ago that are not even hanging anywhere
here..
Rest assured any of the regular gang here in Florida would be willing to show you a good time.. SeaCraft style of course...

Around `93 I became a pier rat in Boynton. One magical morning, I happened to witness the spring run offshore for spawning. Only 4 to 6 wide hugging the north jetty. I could only see down to about 7 or 8 stacks of breeders. It ended in about 20 minuites. Many hundreds per minuite that day.

A big ole Mullet head on an offset circle with a long heavy leader. Leave it on the bottom.

Wind against the drag and did the rod tip when they jump. Watch for sharks. They are fun. Crabs, shrimp and big ladyfish are also great baits.
