Thread: Lake Tarpon (2/20/2014)

Beautiful day on Lake Tarpon today! Picked up dad and headed to the lake, arriving around noon. Wind was a little stiff and out of the SSE, so we motored slowly over to the east bank to drift from Piney Point north to Pasture Fence Point.


Fish were scattered, and we caught them on just about everything we dragged. This included 1/8 ounce road runner with a slider grub in green/yellow (Deer John color), electric chicken garland shad (1/32 jig head), 1/16 white hair jig (my dad ties these) and even a tiny little yellow/brown 1.5" slider grub on a 1/32 jig head. Total of 5 crappie (biggest was 13") and 2 bluegill. I lost the biggest crappie near the boat (RR w/ slider grub). Fish started out near the bottom in 12 feet of water and moved up to about 6 feet deep later in the afternoon.


I want as many of these days as I can get with dad!
