lol, I think Mag is looking for a kayak guide, and I'm not sure if there's any yaks that can physically support Bouncer... He is a legend tho. If I were you, I'd net some nice big mullet and go drift them right around the mouth of the Port Everglades inlet/jetties. There is some good tarpon action around government cut, miami too. I would take advantage of the mullet run and either fish the inlet or even ICW bridges with mullet. This will be your best bet for that big **** you're looking for.
On a side note, make sure your tackle is up to the task. I have been consistently catching tarpon in 20-50 lb range on my inshore tackle with no issues. Last week I hooked a 100+ lb **** that towed me 2 miles and broke me off on a rock. Usually the smaller ones will tire in 10 min and not try to tow you, but watch out if you hook a biggin. Have an anchor or drift sock to slow you.
Pretty sure the OP's post was directed at you... Hint, hint.
I know a good spot on the bay but don't seem to be producing right now. It takes a long time and patience to look for it yourself, for as much as I get out I rather go for the sure shot, even if it costs a little. I've been working around the port here in FLau, and I see tarpon every day but at different times depending on tide. I can go n get'em but it may take 2 trips. 1trip x 1poon = :^)
