Ladyfish are the poor man's tarpon. Ragged Island has several spots where these great fly rod gamefish are found. While not as strong as their brethren, they are like a cross between a tarpon and a bonefish. Ladyfish jump like crazy and are a hoot! While not the marquis species on Ragged Island, there are found consistently and man do they pound the fly and jump. They'll give baby tarpon a run for their money!

Hi Scott- all things being equal, a ladyfish will destroy a tarpon. If you've ever caught a five pound lady and the same weight tarpon, the sabalito is like Pee Wee Herman. I shutter to think how a 40 pound lady would fight if they existed. Great blog, Scott ! :)
