With the water levels being what they are, small tarpon have been the most consistant action in my area. Dark #4 clousers and 15lb flouro have been working, they don't seem to picky. Most fish are 8-15lbs, but there always seems to be a few bigger fish if I show up late in the day. Here are a couple pics.

That last pic of poon, you & background is a great fishing pic! Do they fight hard with the setup you have?

It depends. You know how all men are created equal? Well god had a different plan when he created tarpon. Some of them put up a fair scrap, and others go absolutely berserk. I use a 10' 7wt z-axis, and it's alot of fun for fish over 10lbs. I fish a 5wt occasionally, but I think it stresses the fish out a little too much. The 7wt is far more practical, I can throw the wood to them when I have to.

Yeah kinda. Grovers are pretty clever, the keepers usually don't come easy on fly tackle. I've made three trips offshore with a friend of mine targeting grovers in 90' that are suspended at 40', all I've landed are kings and small ARS while he's taken a double didget fish every trip (he uses conventional tackle, and cut sardines). He got one last week that was 13lbs gutted (the record is 16lbs and change). I keep hoping one of those slobs will have a brain fart and take a fly, but at this point it's obvious I need to try something different.

I went wading this afternoon on the Banana, the water was unseasonably cold, dirty, and full of debris. I would give it a few days to settle down and possibly warm up.
