Huge Snook, photo by Matt Hawksley.
Hawksley says, “Using only artificials we have been able to land quite a few lunkers this summer and all of them right off Tarpon Bay Beach on Sanibel - no boat or live bait needed. We've caught many smaller snook in the canals and passes as well which is a great sign, but the 40-plus inch monsters seem to be out cruising the beaches in droves.”" class="thickbox no_icon" rel="set_6">
Grass Fishing, photo by Capt. Rich Santos. “The Jacksonville-St.Augustine big Spring tides during the MidSummer - early Fall seasons bring out the ultra light tackle and sight fishing angler to hunt for tailing redfish, sheepshead & black drum that are gorging themselves on fiddler crabs over the flooded grass flats," says photographer Santos.

Standup Redfish, photo by Patrick "Tupat" Eichstaedt.
“This particular image is a screen shot from a GoPro Hero4 HD video clip,” says pro photographer and surfer Patrick "Tupat" Eichstaedt. “When David caught this red I wanted to try and capture this moment, but I knew it would be difficult without shooting it in video mode. Fishing was insane. I myself caught 8 different species of fish and David caught his fair share as well. This image is a very unique perspective and SUP fishing is the way to go for getting as close to the catch as possible.” @therealtupat " class="thickbox no_icon" rel="set_6">

Sheet Glass, photo by Collin Ross from the 2015 Sportsman HD Calendar.
Whisper of seabreeze and eruption of sunlight will soon divide water from sky. For now, you’re in a netherworld of stillness as you watch, and listen, for the pulse of tails disturbing the surface." class="thickbox no_icon" rel="set_6">
West Coast Tarpon, photo by David Danforth. “When you have been out all day, watching the tarpon rolling and bursting into the air all around you, you milk every last ray of sun light in the day to catch just one more,” said Danforth.

Chasing the Tide, photo by Richard Santos from the 2015 Sportsman HD calendar.
Kayaker watches for red drum, which raid the spartina grass on flood tide to eat snails and crabs. An hour ago, this was dry ground. And an hour from now, dry ground it will be again." class="thickbox no_icon" rel="set_6">
A Fly in Hand, photo by Jason Stemple, from the 2015 Sportsman HD Calendar.
What determines tarpon fishing success? Casting distance and fly selection are secondary and tertiary to a simple function of line management: You have a fly ready to cast, enough line outside the rod tip, and the nerve to make your delivery with minimal fuss." class="thickbox no_icon" rel="set_6">
