Reviving kayak caught tarpon.

If you don't, they'll sink to the bottom and become crab food. There is absolutely no reason to kill the fish by not reviving it. If...

Re: Dolphins

Back to dolphins, there is a difference between dolphins and porpoises (all while excluding the non-mammal dolphin fish we love putting on our dinner plates). Both are saltwater mammals. However, porpoises are not commonly found in Florida waters. They prefer colder waters. So, what we are seeing ar...

Dolphins

On our super secret tarpon beach, we've suddenly started experiencing bait steal dolphin. While this is new for us, it is very common around some of the fishing piers in Tampa Bay. I talked with my neighbor Randy Wells,the Program Manager for the Sarasota Dolphin Research Program at Mote Marine, and...

Nice catch Walt.

Looks like you need a name change. That's not a Trident you're paddling these days.

Knowing that my Dad and I fished Bull and Turtle Bays quite a bit he decided to send us a present. One day a large cardboard tube showed up and inside were several very large aerial photog...
