Tarpon Video | Get Out My Face

Fort Lauderdale - Bait is tough out there right now. Well not really, but I'm still seeing alot of anglers struggling out there to catch bait. There seems to be a bit of confusion out there so lets clear things up first. Happy Bait is over. What does this mean? It means that you have to do more than just take a 4ft net to the beach and blind toss it into the shore break. Those days are over. Now we are passed Happy Bait you won't see as many Googs down there as were around in late September and early October when the Mullet Run was the most obvious thing on the beach. Most of those guys you saw down there will have chunked their gear back into the garage for another year. Which is fine by me. Cause there is still bait out there. We are gonna continue to break news on the Mullet Run Twitter and best believe that we are gonna be catching fish.

This video is from about 8 years ago. Its Captain Jeff and Fresh Water Rob and a decent river Tarpon in downtown Fort Lauderdale. But the highlight of the video is the two guys that were fishing the seawall just off-camera commenting on Rob and his fish. Enjoy, and get out there and catch some fish.

It happens fast and if you aren't ready you miss it. . Once the nets are in order, we will turn our attention to the buckets and wells. That includes pumps and plumbing. The biggest struggle is always separating 5 gallon buckets that are stuck together. The rods and reels were just overhauled but I will go over them anyway, and get anything fixed that is questionable. New line and leaders and hooks. The point here is to have your gear ready so you can get bait and whack some trophy fish. Tarpon, Snook, Jacks, and Sharks. The Old Timers call it Happy Bait, I call it The Run, either way dont show up with gear that don...

Horsecranker Todd: From Kingfish Expert to the King of Entertainment

Image
In the world of fishing, every angler carries a nickname that tells a story, and for Todd, it's "Horsecranker." This moniker isn't just a quirky title; it's a testament to a memorable day on the water with Captain Jeff, the Lunkerdog, where reeling in dreams turned into an epic battle of willpower. Picture this: the sun painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, the tranquil waters gently rocking the boat, and Todd, a spirited angler, standing at the helm. With the anticipation of a big catch in the air, Todd cast his line and hooked into a formidable adversary. As he cranked the spinning reel with an unmatched zeal, the fishing gods must have looked down with a mix of awe and amusement. Todd's enthusiasm was undeniable, but the spinning reel couldn't keep pace with his fervor. The line tightened, the rod bent under the strain, and in a moment that seemed to defy all laws of fishing, the rod snapped clean in two. The silence that followed was broken by C...
