John's Journal... Entry 108, Day 2 THE TARPON KING OF THE PIRATE COAST Georgia's Titanic Tarpon EDITOR'S NOTE: Very little has been written about the tarpon along Georgia's Pirate Coast where the legendary Blackbeard once pillaged for wealth and treasure, and pirates once ruled with tyranny and fear. But this undiscovered-tarpon hotspot is without question one of the best places to catch the most tarpon in the shortest time. In a day-and-a-half of fishing, we had eight chances to catch tarpon, and we brought four fish to the leader and one fish along the side of the boat. This week, we'll look at the secrets to catching tarpon along the Pirate Coast and talk to Greg Hildreth of Brunswick, Georgia, the King of Tarpon on the Pirate Coast. He'll tell us where to find tarpon and how to catch them.
Question:
Why does the Georgia Coast not get the publicity that many other tarpon
hotspots receive? Question: How big are the average tarpon you catch? Question:
Most fisherman want to catch tarpon and get their photos made with the
fish they've caught. How can your anglers get their pictures made with
tarpon and still be able to release the fish alive? Question: Are you tagging any of the tarpon? Question: In three days of tarpon fishing in July
and August, how many tarpon do you expect to catch? Question:
Why do anglers lose so many tarpon? Question: What's the most tarpon you've ever jumped
in one day? Question: Of the 24 tarpon that you jumped, how
many of those fish were you able to put your hands on? To learn more about fishing with Captain Greg Hildreth out of Brunswick, Georgia, call (912) 261-1763. TOMORROW: A TYPICAL DAY OF TARPON FISHING
