Summertime means tarpon in Tampa Bay.
Capt Chris Camps phoned
Producerman and said the tarpon are at Egmont Key. We got the crew together
for a quick one day shoot and it was on. Headed out of Maximo Marina in St.
Petersburg and right to the pier to catch bait. Capt Blair throws the cast net
two times, and they have enough bait to start fishing. We head over to Egmont
Key. Notice a few boats idling around but no one is catching anything, so we
motor right into the drop-off by shore and see fish on the Humminbird. The
Captains scramble to rig up rods and get baits on hooks. We notice a few boats
have recognized the Mogan Man and begin to move in our spot. That is when the
monster hit! Capt Chris is not ready but gets a strong hookup on a monster
tarpon. For the next hour, the behemoth pulls the 24' Skeeter bay boat around
the flats while boats look on. The fish was a monster! We end the day snook
fishing on the beach just off of Ft. Desoto and end the episode with great
family fishing fun. If you want to watch the full episode "Summer Camp" click
