To be honest I was ill prepared for fishing. We rented poles and tackle with the tackle not being very good. We trolled from Anegada and had one hit. It was interesting to see all the tarpon cruising under the boat with the blue lights on. Must of been at least 25 up to 4ft long. Tried everything to catch one, shrimp, hot dog, bacon, chicken. No interest from the fish. Finally googled and found this:

They will be a blast to catch although not good eating as I understand. Just an FYI our boat was the exclusive, less than 1 year old, not sure older models have the holders.

Next time I go I will be prepared. I will be on a mission to catch a tarpon. Trip was awesome. Good luck.
