  Once again I've been too busy fishing to post. I've been bitten by the tarpon bug, and I don't think there is any  comming back. For years I've watched all the videos and read all of the magazines and books, but nothing compares to actually being there. The adrenalin rush from watching a five and a half foot tarpon jump out of the water, with your fly in it's mouth, is indescribable. I can't even concentrate while posting this.
  Sadly I haven't personally seen any tarpon in the last week. A buddy of mine wants to concentrate on finding big snook, while we wait for the tarpon to resurface. I'll have someone fishing with me, so if everything goes right, I'll have some pictures. I'm posting another snook picture, from yesterday. The second picture is a sheeps head I caught on a large broken back.  log in for pics.

This has been an awesome year for Tarpon. A couple of weeks ago I landed 7 in a 3 hour period. I jumped two that were over six and a half feet long. I jumped one last sunday afternoon, but he got away from me, on the sixth jump. I planned to look for some today, but the weather had other plans. My friend Will landed an eighty pounder, one afternoon. We went back the next day and he landed a small one, its the only one we have a decent  picture of.  log in for pics.
