Fishing Tarpon in Florida...

Uploaded on January 30, 2009

I'm going to the pan handle of Florida and I plan to fish for Tarpon with Flys and conventional gear.
How strong of a shock tippet should I use for a 9 wt rod?

Is 65 pound braid too heavy for tarpon?

Will my Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 6600 work for them?

How strong of a rod will I need for them?

What Flys and Baits do you Recommend?
Size of Hooks and Weight?
Any other lures for sea trout and reds, and Will a Med action Ugly stick work for them?
Will I need any special tools or Clothing (I have the Shirts and many hats that will work.)

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated,

Alex Pernice

I have a few friends who tarpon fished last year, they fished fly and spinning tackle. I will hit them up for some info and get back to you as soon as possible.

Good Luck on your trip, it's sound like you will have one heck of a trip.
