2 hours, 2 tarpon over 100 lbs

[jconstab]

Last weekend was the first time I have taken my 17 ft Logic out tarpon fishing. I headed out by the Sunshine Skyway and we only had 2 hours to fish, so we had to make it count. We caught one tarpon and fought it for an hour. Set up another drift, and fought another tarpon for almost an hour.

It was incredible fighting from the front of my boat. I have caught tarpon on other boats but it was great being on my boat, and seeing the 17 ft Logic put to the test.

Thats lotsa fish for a little skiff. great job! We dont get those out west. So I will just have to enjoy yours insted. What test?

[jconstab]

We use heavy spinning gear, 50 lb test power pro and a 50 lb flouro leader. Almost all the tarpon we catch are on live crabs.

Nice fish.

Killer Poon !
And I like your boat ramp even better

I am surprised though, that you have not removed that front bow rail to give you some more room and open up that 17 into more of a flats skiff layout? If you do want to do that in the future though, just let me know via PM and we can do it over at my place and fill in all the screw holes in short order

Somebody needs to send that man some Triumph stickers for that hull, Randy you got any suppliers of such for a 17 ?

That was a great fish.

MY wife saw your tarpon and went nuts. We have a place in Safety Harbor, will be down for 3 weeks in Nov. New to Florida fishing. Any advice? We have caught tarpon in the Keys with a guide and that helped me convince her we need a boat. We have a new 170CC. Now I've got to show her some fish.

Where when how? Tarpon, snook ??

Thanks in advance for any help.
