Re: Yep, they're here

We poked several more tarpon this morning. Great aerial shows from some big girls. Shamus claims he landed one but he was anti-social and moved a half mile away. He was a blur. Maybe had had his camera today.

Yep, they're here

Launched at Casperson...or was it Longboat key? Come to think of it, it may have been Nokomis Beach. It was dark, can't recall. In the water at first light. Bait was easy (for me) and while my fishing buddy was still trying to get his first pinfish, I got my first tarpon. Didn't have it long as it h...

Re: Tarpon time

Hi Rik, If I remember correctly you guys park behind the church on 43rd on the island or thereabouts I've never launched up there. There are some that do though and maybe they'll speak up. As far as distance from the beach, you just have to watch and see where 'the line' is. Today it may be 150 fee...

Re: Tarpon time

Yes, it began. Saw two kayakers put tarpon in the air. Neither got them alongside for the glory shot. Watched several pods swim right by my float as I anxiously waited for the giant tug that just didn't happen.

I had to settle for two large sailcats and one toothy blacktip shark.

Re: Anyone know a "go away wind" dance?

I didn't do any dance. I, unlike my Sunday fishing buddy, just went for it. Spent an equal amount of time looking for lee as I did for fish. Found both. Now I need to find a Sunday fishing buddy who doesn't whine and cry about a little bit of wind.

If you do, send me a YouTube vid. I may look goofy doing it but, hey, it might work.
