 I love me some New York, but just recently took a job down in Georgia.  I feel very lucky to have gotten a position in my field of study so soon after finishing school in December. It's hot and muggy down here and I certainly miss the good old Adirondacks where I've spent many days fishing and hiking (and more recently hunting but still haven't taken a deer yet!).  That being said, Georgia is treating me well, and the fishing is just as hot as the air.  This is my first tarpon, my guess is that it weighed 90 pounds?  I weigh about 150 and I am 5'10"ish to give you some scale.  If any of ya'll have any experience with tarpon and estimating weight, feel free to chime in!

 

It is still impossible to beat wild strain brookie fishing in the deep woods of New York, in my opinion.  Every 8 inch fish is a fish of a lifetime.

      Gulp!
      By turkeyfeathers
      Ok, I'll sorta hijack this thread as OP isn't replying. You guys ever try the Gulp stuff ? Man o man I'm sold. Buddy who's been taking us out on his boat swears by this stuff. I can see why after seeing results. Well not personally as I've been skunked but buddy and daughter doing well with it. 1/8 oz jighead and simple little pops off lake floor gets the smallies to smash it. Black and white 3" minnows is his choice. Eye's and sheephead seem to like it as well.

Made with CNC aluminum molds and have senko style worms, swimming senko style worms, drop shot worms, and swimming shad worms. $4 a bag. This is how the big, modern day companies started, so I'm trying to do the same, one step at a time! Fresh out of college as well. Thanks
