Headed out around 9:30 and worked the outgoing tide line near the Coast Guard station.  Thick glass minnow bait balls were gettin slammed by hardtails and schoolie spanish.  After boating a few keeper spanish, I finally got a decent sized one on the line.  About 10 feet from the boat, I could finally get a good look at my 2-3lb spanish when suddenly a 100lb+ Tarpon rolled out and sucked in my spanish whole.  Luckily my Gotcha plug tore out of the spanish before heading down into the Tarpon's throat.  Of course, I was pretty excited at seeing my first Tarpon of the year but before I could regroup from the comotion, 3-4 more 100lb+ Tarpon started rolling the surface right at the boat mostly hitting the hardtails and probably a mouthfull of glass minnows.  Naturally, I only had light tackle on the boat so the Tarpon continued making their leisurely rolls on the surface within spitting distance from my boat .

The day ended with 5 spanish, 4 nice sized bluefish, and several sets of ladyfish gills at the cost of one gotcha plug and 5 gallons of gas.
