In the St John’s here in Jacksonville they are in 1-5 feet of water. Usually paired up or threes. Shell bars. Water is pretty bourbon clear I call it. Smaller baits work best. Various retrieves. Just posted some videos.

Hey Justin! Thanks for the video! Can you make a video describing how you got into the fisheries and what you guys do?

[@Jritchey1211]

Reach out to me on the Blog Post that we linked in the description, Seamus! I'd be happy to dive into this.

[@stevedupree525]

You mentioned a moderate fast rod. Most rods are listed as fast. What specific rods would you recommend?

What is the best month to go fishing for the juvenile tarpon in the Indian River system.

[@jameshazen2907]

Hopefully this video will help. I found em but they’ll follow, blow up even bite but won’t choke it. I’m pulling what hair I have left out.

[@Saltstrong]

Good luck!

The tip end is called the Dirty Deeks.

Went chasing juvy Tarpon in Alabama today. I found the hole they’re in. They were rising, pounding something all day long. I couldn’t figure out how to hook one. They get to about 40 pounds up here in the creeks.

[@BlueLeon2287]

Were they in a lake or pond?

[@Joe-bh4vz]

@@BlueLeon2287, neither. Tidal creek.

Sounds like a shock leader to me!

[@Aric--]

Anybody in NC catch any? I've heard of it but don't know any one that has.

[@Varsh_97]

i found doa terroreyz works well. Very small profile. And like you said not much action/vibration. Also werks great for snook.

@@Saltstrong actually I'm out fishing right now and just hooked up on a huge tarpon using this lure lol sadly I tried to rush it and he bent my hook

[@aidanobuck5779]

@@Varsh_97how do you retrieve them in the backwater? I’m going tarpon fishing tomorrow morning in a backwater area with no current

[@Varsh_97]

​@@aidanobuck5779Man I just seen this comment or else I would have totally replied. But I usually work them slow. Try to make them look like a dying fish. Try to keep it near bottom. That's where I have The most success with them. Well the success I've had with any lure. To be honest, flarehawks are up there, but you're only catching big ones with flair hawks.
