Rare Opah Catch Off Ft Lauderdale For Geoff Arias

Rare Opah Catch Off Ft Lauderdale For Geoff Arias

I thought that the Opah was only found in the Pacific Ocean, but I was wrong.  My friend, Geoff Arias sent me a picture today of an Opah.  (You may remember Geoff...we shot a TV show together and you can see that here.)  When I first looked at it, I thought that he had probably taken a trip to Hawaii.  Then, I looked back at the text and saw that it was not caught in Hawaii but rather, off the coast of Ft Lauderdale.

Saltwater Experience- SLO MO TARPON JUMP- St Croix Rod Testing

Jesse Simpkins of St Croix Rods comes down to visit and test some St Croix Mojo Salt and Mojo Inshore rods on the giant tarpon of the Florida Keys.  Mission accomplished!

Check out this SLO MO tarpon jump right next to the boat.  

St Croix Rods are the perfect tool for the Florida Keys Tarpon.  We like so many of the models, but it is hard to beat the Mojo Salt and Mojo Inshore for outstanding quality, incredibly durable boat rods for a charter boat.  Day in and Day out, these things stand up to the abuse of these giant fish and (sometimes) the abuse of the clients.
