If the Tarpon are hitting, you will not find any fisherman surfing the web. They will be too busy catching fish. ;-) Personally, I have not seen any, but I haven't seen any fisherman either. Maybe they are too busy to be seen.
Are tarpon good to eat?
Sharks find Tarpon to be very tasty, or at least that is what I've deduced by watching videos on youtube.com.

First, I'm by no means an expert on tarpon fishing. However, there are lots Tarpon inshore right now. You can kayak out past the second sand bar and see them. Getting them to bite is another matter.
They seem to be cruising through on their way to feeding grounds around Indian Pass. I'm told they prefer feeding over a grass bottom, which we don't have around here.
Some are reporting second-hand stories regarding recent "catches", but I'm not sure. You know the type? A friend of my second-cousin's wife said his buddy caught....

i think you should be able to kayak at least to the second sand bar and throw out a mullet or some sort of batefish or even a cut bait. you can then throw that out there and sit for a while in your kayak because they would need to pick up a scent trail. you might want to take water or something out there with you and then get ready for the ride of your life. you could also take another rod with a large lure that resembles a baitfish in case you see a tarpon roll. if you cast out a baitfish or cut bait you want to use a lot of line but i wouldnt recommend a metal leader because the tarpon can sometimes get spooked by it. good luck
OHHH! You said Tarpon on the sand bar. I thought you found something else on the sand bar...
I'll ask my sis. They've been down there for a month, and her boys love to go fishing with a guy who lives on Eastern Lake. All they had last time we were there was snapper.
