Tarpon Fishing Tampa Bay- By Tampa Fire Fighter & Avid Tarpon Angler Joey Greco.

On a windy, but gorgeous day Tampa Bay the tarpon continue to chew. After launching at O'Neil's Marina we decided to catch some crabs, Mostly blues, but we were happy to have them.

In a small craft the bay was a bit rough, but the tarpon were waiting to be caught.
We had a tarpon report that Anna Maria was the 'hot spot" and we gave it shot with no success. Next spot was Egmont Key where we jumped tarpon two days prior. However, the wind proved too much so we opted to make our last stop the Skyway Bridge. The question on our minds was, would Mr. Poon elude us or would we be going home with a new tarpon tale.

Within a couple drifts through the  spans of the Skyway our first run was a nice 100+ lb tarpon. Angler Tommy Mathews played the Tampa poon with skill, but the tarpon eventually fought his way to freedom. Not to be defeated Tommy repositioned between the spans and drifted a blue crab out and the fight was on! Although not the biggest tarpon Tampa Bay has to offer the poon fought hard and put on a marvelous display! Tampa Bay is a spectacular tarpon fishery that provides tarpon anglers areat  opprotunity to catch these awesome fish. Great job cousin!
