Nice , I’ve fished for Tarpon for several years now a find everything your saying absolutely true . Even doing all of this perfectly one jump is all it takes for them to say goodbye. For me it’s the strike and set , everything after that is fun to . Thanks for the video

NRX+ are my go-to fly rods. They aren’t cheap but they don’t wear you down and they have enough power to do what you ask em to with minimal fuss.

You are a very natural and effective teacher. Very good stuff. Thank you.

Thanks Arthur, very kind of you.

Oh yes, they will eat right on top. It's so awesome, thank you for the kind words and supporting the channel.

Oh you are so welcome, I really appreciate that. I'm trying to get better at explaining some things.

Great advice re setting that hook into concrete!

You bet! Just got back from a Tarpon trip. Always learning. Landed a jumbo model.

@Dillon7777 2 года назад

Thank you for your great tips!!! I wish I watched this video before I went to Cancun in past June . Lost too many fish because of wrong way to set hook.

Joe, Great vid! With your short-stout leader, if you need to break-off, how? Thanks!

@Superdada 2 года назад

Great video. Thank you for putting this together. I wish I had seen this before my last Cancun trip. My guide didn’t communicate too much and we spent half a day casting to nothing. We should have just been patient.

@redsflyshop 2 года назад

Well thanks for the kind support, sorry I didn't get this done sooner. Join a hosted trip with Red's some time and we'll pre-game with you and make sure you have the very best adventure!

Fantastic Tarpon 101 video. Beautifully narrated, with clear concise info. After being a guide in Montana for many years, I really appreciate your focus on the basics. I tip my hat to you sir!! I’m heading out for my first reel (misspelling intended) tarpon trip to Puerto Rico later this month. Growing up in New England, I’m no stranger to saltwater fly fishing. Blue Fish, Stripers, along with Bonefish, Jacks, and Cuda (in the tropics). ONE QUESTION I HAVE: Whether it’s baby resident tarpon or the big migratory fish; do you want them on the reel fast, or keep available line free for their inevitable jumping and acrobatics? Much thanks, and ‘tight lines’ ! Eric

I fish the mangroves on the Indian River in Florida, Tarpon and Snook.

@redsflyshop Год назад

Nice, that sounds like a ton of fun.

@@redsflyshop I am in Tahoe, but have a home in Florida, you bring the gear, I will provide the boat! ;)

@sidewaysrain7609 10 месяцев назад

South Florida any pond larger than a half-acre south of Vero Beach, contains landlocked juvenile tarpon! 20-30 lbers not uncommon. Match your fly color to the tannins in the water. On hot days watch the water surface, tarpon will roll and break the surface of the water to fill their air bladders. Set your hook sideways so you use the butt of the rod not to tip. Large black wooly bugger hold onto your hat it's showtime!

@TheRonthehandyman 2 года назад

Could use a Little more instruction on the skip cast when you get back to the shop. Looks like high tide in the Tarpon video. Wondering how much tide matters. For example , fish on incoming?, outgoing? High?…..and finally, you have SO much fun.

@redsflyshop 2 года назад

I can't and shouldn't speak to tides, as I'm on guided trips for Tarpon. Depending on the area, it could be laid up fish, or fish moving in/out of lagoons or mangroves. You are absolutely right that certain tides will yield more shots at fish "looser" from the mangroves. Usually the guides will it the drop or the rise of the lowest tide from what I've witnessed and had explained to me.

@gregmills6142 2 года назад

Joe great video. Simms no longer makes a good boat shoe what are you using?

@redsflyshop 2 года назад

I'm wearing a Columbia PFG shoe of some sort, it's "ok". A lot of guys are wearing this. It's good in/out of the water. redsflyfishing.com/collections/simms-wading-boots/products/simms-ms-challenger-air-vent-shoe

@jefferywheaton40 Год назад

Great vid! Watching this now on the last day of my first tarpon trip, in Campeche. Pulls together the things I’ve been learning here all week, wish I’d watched before though

@redsflyshop Год назад

Oh thanks, I’m headed to Campeche in April!

@aidanobuck5779 4 месяца назад

Can you use the same setup you use for tarpon for bass? I only want 1 setup cause I’m dirt poor right now. I don’t know if fly fishing is like spinner setups where you can use your saltwater setup for freshwater.

@redsflyshop 4 месяца назад

Absolutely. If you are looking for the most bang for your buck on baby Tarpon/Bass the Echo ION XL redsflyfishing.com/products/echo-ion-xl-fly-rod?variant=14986809442353 is a stick man. That'll do it. Get a RIO Predator WF8F line for it and a Redington Behemoth Reel. That will get 'em.

"Don't wait until you're too old to do this" ?

@ksingleton101 2 года назад

At what point do you let the rod do the work. After fishing for Trout and Bass for the last 30 years it would be really hard for me to use my arm to set the hook rather than the rod. Do you use the real to set the drag or use your hand?

@justinbolsoy2302 2 года назад

What do you mean by this? I primarily bass fish and soon to fly fish in the saltwater. And when I hook a fish I set that, with my arm I’m guessing. I need clarification because this seems interesting.

@redsflyshop 2 года назад

You'll be gripping the line very tight so this means that you'll be using your hand, not the reel to restrict line movement. The initial hook set will be with your line or stripping hand (for me that is my left), once connected you'll need to pull straight back with your rod arm without lifting the tip. Hopefully this makes sense.

@davescheer5038 2 года назад

So I’ve got a question for ya , does fly line color spook Tarpon , ? 🤔

@SultanofSpey Год назад

Like all things...it depends. Depends on the location. Depends on the guide. Depends on angler abiliites to see at a distance. But generally, a ghost tip or clear line is never going to hurt.

@davescheer5038 Год назад

Sure wish you would have had some kind of muff on the mike the wind made it difficult to hear ! Was your microphone under your head wrap ? This video was very informative , using a 50# leader , doesn’t that hurt the action of the smaller fly ? Even if you have a loop knot ? I’ve seen vids were guys use 20# tippets on smaller fish and it gives a more natural presentation, and more hits 🤔

Thanks for watching, it's some free music beat the GoPro App let's you use. Hope it's not too annoying haha.

@mattpardy2826 Месяц назад

@@redsflyshop I actually really like it. I watch most of the videos except the euro nymphing stuff and boat reviews, but sometimes I come back to the "101" videos just for the music!
