South Padre Island Tarpon

8-28-09

Crossing the causeway a little bit late but in time for a nice pic.

Today was another great day, but the coolest part about it was my wife finally got to see a few of the awesome sights the surf occaisonally offers but never seem to happen when she is with me. All photos were taken by her today. Nice job Kym!

Her first jumping Manta & she catches it with the camera. Awesome!

Skipjack feeding freenzy, time to get some bait.

Old fat guy with one of two 23 inch surf trout, both released.

We searched all day for some Tarpon but it looked like it wasn't going to happen today. We were both getting a little tired from the sun and thousands of casts and were about ready to go home when I asked if we could please head north a few miles for one more look around. She's a trooper and agreed so we tried one more nice looking spot. The Tarpon hit cut skipjack Tuesday so I had some out on a 4/0 while chunking big topwaters with a trout rod in hopes of bringing one to the surface, just to see if any were around. We had zero Tarpon sightings today. On about my fifth time to say last cast to myself the water explodes a little to my right. A huge Poon hit that 4/0 skipjack, spit the hook & sent the whole rig a good 20 feet in the air. I look back to Kym & yell Tarpon!!! and she runs for the camera. While my head was turned a small one nails my topwater. Very cool but I'm like... typical, this will last for maybe one jump or I'm gonna get spooled. Haven't got a clue how the next 15 minutes worked out so well but it did. Not a big Tarpon but a pretty nice one to land on a trout rod. Once in a lifetime deal for me I'm sure. Probably should go buy a Lotto ticket. Mucho thanks to my buddy Paul for giving me that magic lure for my 50th birthday!

Kym doin some nice photo work. You can see that magic green Rapala X-Rap locked onto a nice fish.

Trout rod Tarpon and a happy old fat fart.
