Not really what you asked, but we caught a tarpon near lake decade earlier this year. That was kind of a wtf moment for me.

You sure it wasn't a ladyfish?

I caught a flounder on a crank bait at the mouth of Sorrell in the Atchafalaya River

now that i think about it i've heard stories of people catching stuff in the intercoastal around that area, like white trout, gafftops and such......Is it correct that the bottom of that canal is below sea level around that area?

Definitely not a lady fish bc I know what lady fish look like, but it's possible it wasn't actually a tarpon.
I've never been tarpon fishing, but one of the guys with us swore it was one. It was a new catch to me and we caught it less than 5 minutes from my camp.

along the same lines, I guess, there are big mullet in some of the lakes around Oak Harbor golf course. When I first saw them in 2008ish I asked a guy at the clubhouse and he said they flooded in with Katrina and adapted. Some of them look to be doing really well and are a couple lbs.

are they technically the same species? These are the same ones I see in the lake and off the east coast of FL.

I dug up this picture of it. Like I said, Im not really familiar with tarpon, so maybe y'all can clear this up. It did have a long whip on the dorsal fin though.

looks like a tarpon to me

I wonder wtf he was doing down by the marsh. Hopefully I can pull in his dad sometime soon.
Posted on 5/13/13 at 3:31 pm to CP3
I am just guessing but alot of juvenile fish live in the marsh until they get big enough to survive outside. Tarpon usually are usually near the coast.
I think (don't take this as fact) there is a picture in Falgout Canal marina of a 200 lb tarpon that was caught in Mechant or Decade 30-40 years ago.
