Just recently got back from the gulf coast and wishing I were still there! We did a tarpon trip in the Apalachicola river with a guide that specializes in the river stripers in the cooler months. I had six on and my brother had a 125 #er six feet in the air before the unbutton.

Let me know if you are interested and I can hook you two up. It would be about an hour's drive east for you. Dave is a real cool guy and the tarpon was probably once in a life time for me but I hope not..

The guy can talk stripers all day if you let him..
