Folly Pier using live bait on the bottom. 300 yds. or more fishing line preferred to fish in the evening or later.

No one is going to tell you a place to catch tarpon, if they did I wouldn’t even try it because more than likely its BS. Although common knowledge is that people land good numbers of tarpon in bulls bay and port royal/st. Helena, about an hour north or an hour south

Nice toss yak-dog. I knew you had it in ya.
Tarpon are super badazz two one two. Like lades, only bigger. Try otf, 12 wt, big bunny filp triz. All silver, scotty pipp, all redz, lades, poons up southern style.
Yessir.
Reel work yak has given you some good places . As for as techniques look for the bait they are going to be around there ! I like using a float for them more than bottom rigs , seem to only catch shark after shark on the bottom . You can anchor down or drift . There is no go to place for tarpon they move around looking for food so all you can do is get out and work the inlets and bays and try to catch one ! You will see them roll and bust bait , just pay attention to the water and the bait balls ! After many trips trying one finally came into my boat last week , to bad i wasn’t on the reel but I was just as excited as him . It was an awesome experience getting to witness this prehistoric true sport fish fight and jump . And then getting to grab ahold of this fish made it even more rewarding !

19’ Cobia bay
Hooked one on a 3 inch white gulp under a popping cork with a 12 inch leader on a penn slammer 365 on Saturday. Fought for 25 minutes got the float within 4 feet of rod top and took pictures before the 2/0 circle pulled out.
Well I appreciate it
