So, I know ya'll were talking about strange catches lately & some maybe thought pontoon pappy was nuts when he said he saw Tarpon on Monroe.
Well check out Highland Park's Instagram page, some guy caught a Tarpon in Woodruff
Highland Park Fish Camp on Instagram: “Tarpon caught on Lake Woodruff!”
I've caught stingrays near Harney & redfish in Crescent but middle of St.Johns has Tarpon,
what a fight that'd be on a 12ft speck rod:fish:yikes
I see them often in Blue Springs right where the river water mixes with spring water. Kinda moving back and forth between the dark river water and clear spring water.
Jessie Rudolph boated one in Monroe last year! I seen it.

I saw that on IG and facebook this morning. I've had some stripers cause mayhem while trolling there...can't imagine what a tarpon would do! LOL
Picked up a flounder in Crescent in 2014 :scratchhead
I actually know Jessie real well. He could probably catch a fish in my septic tank. Young man is incredibly talented on catching fish. Killed a fantastic buck last week in Georgia if you havent seen the pic yet.Quote:

I fish the Palatka area and Crescent... I've caught rays, flounder, red fish, snook, jack, .. that's pretty far south for a tarpon
