But yeah you can eat tarpon, i tried the only way i could to get rid of that *river fish taste* was to scrape teh meat off the bones, season with salt, pepper, paprika,fresh herbs grate potatoes as in making a hash combine with egg,,dust and fry...only way i would ever eat tarpon anyway to taking the savour out of it and BLEH....so i have a caster with a good 175 yards of 50lb trilene and a spoon with a spring wire leader..I should consider myself set

Razkal wrote:^ Shakespeare cajun line was really good too, but kinda pricey and a little thick for the 30lb test so i ended up with less line on the reel...never a good moment for me.
Ande mono is good too, but i'd prefer it for lighter outfits...20lb test and under, i don't like the 30lb test ande line very much...same complaints as the trilene...although i like that you have three colour choices no matter what test you need

Gimme a shout, made some runs up to the rain forest last week and scouted a few good spots along the way. Heading back up there with bait tomm and sunday to see if there is any play.

meccalli wrote:Hmmn, well i usually like to play the fish a lil bit but as i'll be on rocks perhaps beefing up the line may be the right thing to do. I have one of those finite fin-nor 8ft rod medium action /reel combo but..i use it for freshwater fishing. I dunno, I guess I always use casters for heavy fishing. :/
Razkal wrote:Stren>Trilene>Sufix
sufix frays and gets chaffed too easily imo...i find the memory of the line is too high also...it retains any little kink or bad twist..Trilene took alot of licks when i used it...no complaints, but so far of all the 30lb-40lb test mono i've used...Stren Red was the moist effective...easiest to use and tie any knot...low memory, good elasticity and reassuringly strong
plus red line is virtually invisible at depths

Don't stueps pal, was a tarpon to boot up Toco side, la Fouray to be exact.
Tackle was a red and white yo-zuri with 2' 58lb wire leader.
Used with a 6500SS Penn and Ugly Stik 9'.
I try to use the lightest line possible to increase the odds in the fish's favour, thats the sport...sometimes I even go down to a 27lb wire leader as well.
I use PowerPro 50lb braid as well which is the equivalent diameter of 12lb Ande.
See men using all kinda 80lb braided etc, no sport in that.

I like that! i have a yozuri minnow for this weekend, copped a fresh iridescent blue and pink unit to try on the 20lb outfit...first minnow artificial, pulled it around the pond to see the action and it. is. gooooood.
got a deep diver also, but don't think i have any line to take that jammin' now...

..good lures nevertheless but i prefer the action of rapala's lures. Return to “Ole talk and more Ole talk”
