All the years I've been fishing fresh water down here, I've only managed 2 snook and zero tarpon....and the snook were a long time ago. Would like to learn more about freshwater tarpon fishing.

Why not? Both species can live in fresh.

Not only are they euryhaline but I often find snook and tarpon are hogs in fresh water since they do not have any natural predation so they load up on all those freshies-exotics. Try small snake heads on tarpon and mayans on snook, why bother to go to the ocean when you can bank hop, Markham Park. :bounce: :reeling:

There certainly are Snook and Tarpon on the canal by Markham that parallels SR84, and if the water is moving East go directly to the West end at Krome avenue.
