Tarpon Tip: When tossing plugs for tarpon, use a pliers and flatten the barbs on the treble hooks- They will set MUCH easier but be careful not to allow slack or they will throw it. Big Attraction - It may be quiet now, but tarpon season should make splash By DOUG PIKE Read this article at Tarpon Adventures It took barely 48 hours for the Gulf of Mexico to flatten itself behind tropical storm Bill's uninvited arrival earlier this week. Surfers were disappointed (they call it "bummed") that one of the year's better swells deflated so quickly, but tarpon fishermen see the settled water as a starting point. "I've been twice so far and found them once, off Galveston Island," said Jim Leavelle, one of the region's top charter captains for summer tarpon. "Tarpon fishing ought to be good if we can get a break from these morning storms." Tom Ayers of Teakwood Marina, a major starting point for Galveston-based tarpon fishing, had a confirmed sighting this past week, off Freeport, and has logged enough years in the area to know there are more tarpon here now.
