Jon, thank you so much for sharing. I’ll add some of my research as well once I compile it. I know of a couple tarpon holes in Lake P, Lake B, and major passes.
I’m limited by range with my skiff or else I’d be down in Venice every week.
I’m going tomorrow and have a good clue where I can find some pods. I’m bringing everything:
-2 coon pop rigs
-2 NLBN soft plastic swim baits
-live crab
-live mullet / dead mullet
The plan is to get to the spot by 6AM, chum the area I plan to fish, 2 coon pops off the back and casting the NLBN like I would a trout rig as a troll. If I get nothing by 730-8 I’ll spot lock, rechum, and swap the coon pops to live bait, one on a balloon and one on bottom, and keep fan casting.
