Crab Flush A.K.A. "Hilltide In the months of May, June and July all of the passes on Florida's west coast from Tampa Bay to Naples have a crab flush. Tampa Bay and Boca Grande are the best places to fish due to the amount of water both estuaries have to dump all of the water out of the two bays. On your new and full moon there are strong tides that flush crabs out of the flats bringing them through the various passes. Boca Grande pass without a doubt is the best place to catch Tarpon on the "Hill Tide". Usually on a crab flush you start out chasing the Tarpon offshore 3 to 4 miles throwing Calico Crabs at them with 30lb spinning gear. You can hook 20-50 fish when these tarpon go off shore. Most of these fish will go out offshore and turn around and come back to the inside of the pass which is called the Hill. When they get on the hill instead of chasing them you just drift through them, it is allot like bass fishing with a shiner except it is a little bigger jerk on the end of your line.
