Never pier tarpon fished. I'm new to florida and hooked up with one a week ago in fort myers at this lake by our house. Probably an 80 pounder on a 6" gold suspending bait.

About a week ago, there were several that were surfacing between the bridges on the south end just before dark. Pretty big too!

Friday night they were hitting the pass crabs between the spans. Scared the crape out of me. Lot's of crabs floating by, would likely be a bait of choice right now.

Hooked up with one yesterday late afternoon off a floating Greenback. Couldn't believe it. Jumped once and a crowd started to form.... Jumped twice and the hook popped out.

Hooked up with one this morning about 10:30 ( incoming tide) on a huge threadfin sitting on the bottom . started coming straight at me, then under the pier, managed to get it stopped in the alley , (wife was fishing there and was watching this fish jump, she didn't know that i was attached to it) managed to get it turn and it was headed to the gulf. a couple jumps and 5 minutes later, snap. I was covered with power pro
