Yeah, little early for tarpon unless you were headed to the keys. My folks live in Sarasota for the snowbird season. Jacks can be anywhere, kinda like blues are. No real pattern to where they will be, their everywhere. I always have my best luck with them at dawn in moving water like a pass or the ICW between Longboat key and Venice Inlet. If you want snook head to Snook Alley. It's part of the ICW, just north of Venice Inlet where it gets real narrow with a couple bridges. Good night bite there. The thing to do is fish near the lights of the bridges. I think basically that time of year you want to stay inside with the warmer water. Anywhere Tampa and south will probably be good. I love the area between Longboat key and Venice though.
