Let's Save The Boca Grande Tarpon Habitat

Many of the old time guides are saying we need to take another look at the way we are dealing with the Boca Grande tarpon fishery — at least when it comes to weigh-in tournaments as attached to jig fishing.

Easy solution to ending Tarpon tournaments that involve kill tags, and the way that Tarpon are fished for in Boca Grande. Eliminate the option for kill tags for a fish that has zero value dead.

This video really opened up my eyes to the fishery that has always been my dream. For years i watched the ptts in awe and admartion hoping that one day i would be able to fish it myself. I am friends with several captains and people who have fished the tournament and never learned about the harm that was being caused. The only tarpon i caught was on live bait fishing the hill, but i always wondered why that silly soft boddied baitfish in lime green tiger shad has worked. because of you, know i know. I am still interested in pursuing my dream to be appart of this fishery, but would love to learn your methods on catching thease tarpon.
I would love to hear back from those of you in the video, Carmine Lacognata.
