News from Florida

Full on tarpon season here in the lower Florida Keys!!

Tarpon release

The weather and the fishing has been inconsistent... one day it is great.. the next day we have to work for shots.. 

Good things come to those that wait...

Tarpon are in the back country basins and also moving ocean side..  waiting on the right edge,  on the right tide can be productive..

Hunting and poking around for fish in the back country is a lot of  fun too!

Kyle with the "Electric Chicken"

On spin fishing trips we have been throwing the Hogey..  In the right hands it is deadly and the tarpon are going out of there way to eat it..  it was the day before Easter and 14 year old Kyle opted to throw the Electric Chicken... he fed two tarpon that day..

Evan had the leader snap on the hook up /jump...  the fly line flew back to give him a tarpon battle scar..
