Tarpon ?
« on: July 09, 2007, 04:31:52 PM »
Is it possible to catch a baby tarpon in the Pt. Pleasant Inlet ? My cousin caught something that we thought was a snapper blue but it didnt have the face or teeth of one. I could have sworn. lol

Give a man a fish, and he can eat for a day. But teach a man how to fish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years.

Not too long ago, there were several stray tarpon caught in the area around the Shrewsbury Rocks and if I'm not mistaken a few years back there was one taken off Long Island. However, overall the are pretty rare up in these parts.
