We fished using live bait, circle hooks, and most importantly, light tackle. Don't know how many will understand but I fished with med action rods, 4000 series spinning reels, 30lb braid connected to 30lb flourocarbon leaders. Made for terrific fishing, tarpon are incredible fighters and using this lighter gear made for some of the best fishing battles I have ever had in my life. It was a great way to spend 4 hours, fishing the lagoon that had a 3km long bridge spanning its width that I would be running across and back the following afternoon running the "worlds best 10K race"...
