I did get out this morning with Arik81. The day started off with great potential and I was hoping ALL the wind reports were going to be wrong. Just in case, we decided to fish the heavily protected areas of Vamo.

I was only able to come up with one good size fish. But I'll take this any day:

Fun looking little tarpon. What did it hit?
Being out on the water in the kayak is the prize. Catching fish is the bonus.

Caught 3 nice trout - 20", 23.75", and 24.5"; all released to fight another day.

Love me some paddletail - slow retrieve, almost like bass fishing. Very subtle hits - they fought much better this week than last.

Sorry no "hero" shots.

Did make some beergaritas - threw in some fresh plant city strawberries the beergarita, with 12 hot chicken wings.

Not sure which was better - fishing, weather, wings, or drinks. All in all a spectacular weekend.

That said I have the fever for some +100# threadfins. Rumor has it they are in Ft. Myers.

Lining up some fellas to hit AMI in a couple months.

Tarpon hit red 1/8 oz jig head with DOA curly tail in Gold Crush. That's my "go to" for any situation.

Nice try. Location redirection has been tried around here before. We all know you were down in North Port.

The background gives it away. Those are definitely North Port trees.
