14 foot hole mouth of the Myakka
This hole has long been a favorite of
Cobia, Shark, and Tarpon fisherman,
![]()
I first learned of this in 1985 and have
fished here ever since. I am not sure
why it is as good a spot as it is, but good it is.
I do not have the G.P.S. coordinates for
it. You do not have to be right on the hole to catch fish.
If there is another boat anchord there, please anchor off to the east or west of
them. Do not
anchor in someone else's chum line, a 200 foot rule is a good one hear, if you
are both chumming,
you both have a better shot at the big one.

Finding this hole is easy just follow the instructions below.
One of my favorite baits for this hole is a Free lined Spanish Sardine, If it is
Tarpon I use a 60 pound fluorocarbon leader. 7/0 circle hook
If it is small Shark a 4/0 hook with a 30 pound 18" steel leader. Same Spanish
sardine.
For larger Sharks I use chunks' of Mullet or Lady fish, With a 9/0 to 12/0 hook,
100 to 250 pound test steel leader.
The chunks should be about as big as your fist.

Please try to stay out of out peoples chum line, That is completely RUDE. go off to one side or the other
and do your own chum line, Two is better than one anyway. just a reminder
