lots of public docks and nobody is on them

Sweet!

I know those stretch your string...what lb. leader do you use to handle those rough mouths?

Nothing fancy I just use a single piece of cheap 40# mono. If it last longe enough the bigger ones sometimes break through. I also horse them up on the beach as landing them in the water is harder than they make it appear on TV

That is some sweeet fish to be catching from the beach!

I'm assuming those are Grand Cayman Poons and not Georgia ones. Would seem the water has cooled a little around these parts the last few days for them to still be around.

Man, I want to live where I can catch tarpon from the beach.
