Fishingidiot asked:


2 questions about the fly shop fishermen’s World, in Tarpon Springs.. (1500 Us Highway 19 Tarpon Springs, FL)

1. Does this place have a website..? And if they do what is it?

2. Is it a nice place in there? Are they well stocked on flies and other fly fishing equipment (Fly tying kits, leaders, ETC.) And I am getting a lesson with one of the guy’s on Saturday. Do they give good lessons..?

I am just curious….
Thanks for your answers!
Have a great holiday and a great new year!

Kent S asked:


Most of the fish will max out at 50LB. Expect barracuda, Kingfish, mackerel, odd tarpon, odd snook.

Ab asked:


i went fishing in the gulf of mexico today, and we fished by mangroves in tarpon springs….so anyways we caught like so many snappers, something tails i forgot LOL. We used shrimp as bait, but why cant we catch any red fish.

What bait do they like?

Edit: a guy like maybe 25 yards from us got a 26 inch red

What The Buc? asked:


What would be the best bait to use? There’s redfish, flounder, brown trout and tarpon that primarily live there.

Dawn B asked:


I am trying to plan a surprise vacation for my husband for his 30th birthday. For my 30th he took me skydiving, so I have that to top! We love deep sea fishing, and his bday is in October. Trying to get recommendations of nice tropical area where the fishing season is good then. We would love to do some tarpon fishing too. We’ve already been to Cabo, Cancun, Jamaica, and Costa Rica, so was hoping to go somewhere new. Any feedback appreciated!
I don’t find Florida as prime fishing season in October on any of the charter websites. Carribean, Central America suggestions? Reasonably priced would be nice.

SCE2AUX asked:


…a fish biting on the bait, then swimming calmly as if nothing had happened – until it reaches the end of the slack in the line. I’ve seen this happen many times in the clear waters of the Florida Keys with 6-12 inch grunts and snappers.
I’ve seen some good answers here. I asked this question in the conservation section as well. If you go there, you’ll see that they had some excellent ideas, as I expected.

Fabian asked:
