For anyone wondering they let you fish the pond no problem, just have to bring your own gear As far as gear goes you'll need more than a medium heavy bass rod, the snook seemed to have died or been fished out, the tarpon are still there, but they are a lot bigger now than in this video Very smart fish and they have been hard to hook into but I caught a 25-30 pound the other day and missed a few hook sets on bigger, I'm using an 80lb mono leader on my fly rod and they tear it up pretty good so if you are using spinning gear I'm sure a wire would do you well but I would not go lighter than 80lb test for fluro or mono A heavy action rod with 40 lb braid should be good enough if you want to fish spinning tackle, just be prepared to buy a new reel cause these guys tear up your drag systems😂
