Giant trevally should be the day — the lagoon sand, then the passes if the GT are up. Work the leeward shore — fly gets harder.

Tarpon should be the day — wait — slack in Boca Grande Pass is a boat parade, not a hunt.

7 mph SE · high slack

Where

  • Gasparilla Sound · 7.1grass flat on a high slack tide is a workable match.
  • Boca Grande Pass · 6.9pass jetty on a high slack tide is a secondary match.
