In Boca Grande pass in FL, they use live pinfish deep and drift over the edge of the hole in the pass. The tarpon are stacked down behind the edge ambushing bait as drifts over. This is in late spring.

There is a hole just north and East (~500yd) of the end of the peir that juts out from Lakefront airport. It gets to about 45' deep and is several hundred yards wide. The side slopes a re pretty drastic (like a 1V on 4H slope). I have crossed it several times very recently with my boat that I keep out at South Shore Harbor.

That would be the easiest place for me to try.

Cut mullet you say? Or live mullet? Either can be obtained for free with a cast net!
