Pirates and Tarpon with Gene Wooster

Send us a text

There's only a handful of fish that people will alter the way they live just to catch. Tarpon are one of those fish. When you picture tarpon fishing, you're probably imagining some guy fly fishing from a flats boat in the Bahamas. But there's another very different type of tarpon fishing in a very different place, Pamlico Sound, North Carolina. Pamlico Sound is the second largest estuary in the U.S. with a fascinating pirate history. The tarpon there are enormous and catching them is a totally unique skill set to other tarpon fisheries. Here to share his fishing knowledge, is my good friend Gene Wooster. Gene has won more tarpon competitions in North Carolina than anyone either of us know, and after hearing from him, you'll be booking a trip to Pamlico.
