Tarpon

Last night Charley and I joined Captain Glenn Warington to do a little Snook fishing on Glenn's boat.  We didn't catch any Snook but we did manage to hook a few nice Mangrove Snapper and we lost a few fish that took us into the Mangroves.
It was a beautiful calm, warm night and can you believe there were even a few shrimp making their way out to the ocean.  Tarpon and Snook were popping all around us feeding on the shrimp which is a good thing.
We were throwing our jigs to the popping and finally I got a tarpon to take my Hank Brown glow in the dark jig.  I think they work pretty good but you have to recharge them with a shot of your flashlight every couple of casts.
Charley did a great job netting the Tarpon while the Captain manuvered the boat.  It was released unharmed.
Check out Charley's blog in the links section.  He has some pictures from last night.
