I have had an itch to get out and do some Tarpon fishing on a week day but needed a crew

I was able to put one together with a friend of mine Joe and ABSam. This was Joes first time Poon fishing so I was eager to see him hooked up.

We left our launch at noon and stopped to pick up a few pinfish off the flats to do some shallow water grouper fishing first. We ended up boating 3 just undersized Gags before we headed to the pass to find a poon.

We got there and the tide was flushing but the crabs were slim pickings. We got enough to fish with and on our first drift we hooked up! I passed the rod to Joe and the battle was on.It took longer than I would of liked but Joe landed a nice Poon just under 100 lbs.Not to bad for his first time.

After a few high fives and a break for Joe we were off.

We set up another drift and then another and another but we missed the good bite.We did manage to pick up a couple of fat over sized Reds as a Bi-catch.

Sorry no pics I still cant figure out how to post them.

Sounds like a good time and thanks for the report! If you wanted to upload your pictures here I'd be glad to put them in for ya. http://www.tampabaycharter.com/members/photos/photo-controlpanel.as...

Also, if the images are on your computer there's a box at the bottom of the page when posting (right above the submit button) that says "Attach File After Posting". If you check that it will allow you to browse your computer and upload an image into the post.

Either way, thanks again and keep up the good work! 

Thanks Scott.

Im going to figure out the pic posting one way or another.
