Welcome back to Tarpon Week! 5 days where we talk nothing but Tarpon. To celebrate this extra special week, we teamed up with Pro Tarpon Guide, Captain Brett Martina, to get his insider knowledge on how to beat the silver king at his own game. If you've ever been tarpon fishing, or ever plan to, you know how tricky and unpredictable these fish can be when it comes to actually connecting with a fly. So, grab a pencil and some paper, and sit down for a whole lot of knowledge and a good bit of sass from one of the most notable up-and-comers.
