Recently, a video was released regarding tarpon conservation and what has really been happening in our Boca Grande Pass. It's been a long time coming and knowing Rhett's strong stance on protecting our fishery, he plans on offering his full support. If this aggressive style of fishing continues taking place, the consequences will not just be felt by the fisherman, but also the local businesses that depend on the avid anglers that flock to our area during tarpon season. Attached is the link to the video that started it all. I encourage you to check it out and please forward it to anyone who might help our cause. And just for your general knowledge, the first preliminary study done in the state of Florida showed that tarpon season brings in over 650,000 million annually.
