Kayak Fishing Tarpon By BlacktipH Josh headed out kayak fishing with Deep Blue Kayak Fishing charters and Bluewater Boat Rentals to catch a huge tarpon during the annual mullet migration in Florida. While paddling along the beach we found a massive school of mullet with dozens of tarpon feeding. We were using live mullet for bait. After a few missed opportunities, Josh finally hooked a big tarpon. The fish jumped out of the water and began towing Josh offshore into deeper water.
