Heading down to Beaufort this weekend and hope to see a Tarpon even though I know it’s a little early in the year. I have have all the gear and techniques, but I’m not very familiar with the area in the sense that I have never Tarpon fished there. I see some spots on the map that look good but you know how that goes. Looks good on the map and you get there and it feels all wrong. Would I be best to cruise the beaches early looking for birds and some big Jacks and then anchor out a little later and hope for that 1 in a 100 chance of a hookup with a Tarpon. Gonna have some younger guys on the boat that don’t have the patience to sit all day and wait for one or no bites. Would like to post up somewhere near some structure so that at least we may have a chance to catch something other than just sharks and skates. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance folks.
