Fishing vacation.

[Putnambuck]

I had been going to Amelia Island on the Atlantic Coast to surf fish for a couple of years, but when I decided to get a serious boat I also did research to find the best place for me to get serious about Salt Water fishing. My number one target species is Tarpon, so that's where I started.

To my surprise Apalachicola Bay is considered by some as one of the top ten tarpon fishing destinations in the world for a few weeks in late summer. A ton of research later and I now know it's also some of the best fishing for other game species in the Spring.

I'm going to try and do semi annual trips for about a week in May and the first week in August every year. May for a variety of species and August to specifically target Tarpon. I've never used a GoPro in my life, but I've got one on the shelf to use when I go there.

I've actually "hung" a couple big tarpon fishing off the old bridge in the last few years. No way to get them in but had a blast for a few minutes. Caught a big drum off the bridge last year I'm guessing in the 40-50 lb range. Always have a great time down there.

Not to rain on anyone's advice but how many chickens are in the salt water? Bait your traps with Mullet, trout or bass. My neighbor is a crabber and I save all my trout remains for him. He hammers the blue crab. But good luck which ever way you go.

Also been going to Saint George for well over 30 years and love it. Damn mosquitoes will eat you alive during the summer.

The closer it get's the more excited I get. There are just so many different places I want to check out and things I want to try. The repower that's almost done on my boat is going to give me the confidence to really get out there, too.
