Ross, AWESOME VID.... amazing how you took your time and I've always wanted to know and understand this information. This set up is something anyone could learn and practice sitting at home on a sunday or rain day, AWESOME.

Great tutorial Capt. Ross! I've been following your videos.... Can you please let me know what is the best month to fish Tampa Bay using your spinning reel and Hogy Lures. I heard it was illegal to jig in Boca Grande but legal in Tampa?

Informative vid, thank you. I haven't ever doubled up my braid but will going forward. I have run 40lb floro and have been broke off many times. I always worry that going to 60 plus leaders may decrease the bite. I do my fishing at night in clear water, do u think going fr 40 floro to 60 mono could inhibit some of the bite?
@mulletmaster23925 жыл бұрын
I use 130 lb mono and get decent action. Then again I fish from land and need a heavier leader. 40 lb test leader is next to worthless for a tarpon of substantial size. It will work for the fish under 50 lbs, but for bigger ones it won’t cut it. I’ve had 100 lb get frayed off in the past.

Nice vid captain! I live in cape coral and enjoy targeting these fish as well. I have been about those Hogy's being great but have never used them much. Do you just swim them slowly up top or twitch/pause type retrieve?
@TheIntrepidAngler10 жыл бұрын
Use a slow twitch pause up top. The bait will dart and roll , then drop on the pause.

with the circle hooks and hogys do you snap set the hook hard or keep reeling and let it come tight? thanks for video
@TheIntrepidAngler9 жыл бұрын
You'll want to keep reeling and let the fish pull drag. If you swing to set the hook hard, you'll loose the fish.
@brotharuss8 жыл бұрын
what size hook is that? Do you add weight to it or is that soft bait heavy enough?

What's your favorite brand and model of fluorocarbon and favorite brand and model of monofilament to use for tarpon leaders? Thanks much

When I'm using mono at night, in dirty water conditions, I like the Triple Fish 80lb Mono. In clear water condtions, I'll usually start with 50lb Seaguar Blue Label.

Nice video but I like the Bimini better
@TheIntrepidAngler7 жыл бұрын
Wyatt Obrien you bet! Bimini is excellent. The spider hitch is much faster form me to tie up on the boat and never had break off issues with tarpon.

Tarpon is hard to catch like HELL, first of all, it jumped right out of the water everytime i pull it back. Secondly, its soo heavy that i almost let it go. Third, fuck it.
