Fuck now I'm jonesing to go back to florida again.
Thanks for that! Gotta get back soon!
Looks great! Little man will remember that for sure.
If I'm not mistaken, I lived right by that big green park in the pic of the air show.
Telee- get stoked.
Watch Silver Kings

Hey do you guys know how that creep Paul got his money? Bonus question, how he got his start?
Tarpon season extra point opportunities:
1. Find the porno that Heidi is rumored to have done. Post link.
2. Punch Bou or the preacher in the face.
Someone find the porn vid. I'll watch and check for authenticity.Quote:

and hopefully not with 100 of my good friends. Going on a Wed., so hoping the shit show is at a minimum.
Lots of other good shows on that link too.Quote:

Looks like they roll out of Hurricane Hole. Get the scoop. I think I remember that monster Yellowfin from last time we were there.
Sweet I bet you can avoid most of the shit show on a Wednesday. Sadly my run this time is over a weekend so I am sure it will be a complete shit show.Quote:

Can you fit me in your suitcase and put a hologram of me in my house so my family doesn't notice ?
Hi to the boys! Looking forward to late summer again.
June is the new May.Quote:

Snapt it does seem like June is the new May down there. Keeping my fingers crossed that the weather Gods cooperate this year.
Lee- you are due for some calm breezes.
We had a pretty weird May this year. Not sure if it affected the Tarpon run, but I know for sure they will be in Boca. Really hoping for a Hammerhead sighting though. Why catch Tarpon, when I can catch what EATS Tarpon.
It's my understanding that it did. Wasn't hot enough. And the grass die-off and water releases probably didn't help.Quote:

Seeing a big hammerhead or bull attack the fish you have on the line is pretty awesome.
Man, after hearing how tough of a time Roo's had, it is discouraging for me. After seeing Roo's post over the years I can confidently say I am a much worse angler (and photo documenter).
I have a trip with this guy in apalachicola...

I have heard that the elnino year is messing with the poons. I am trying to have a measured approach and not expect too much.
as always thank you guys for your content.
Hey Dan, goood luck tomorrow.....if you're still going!
Hopefully Colin hasn't put a complete kibosh on your trip.
I'm still around and kickin' , going to Rays and getting out in the Gulf whenever possible.
Buddy of mine just caught a 10' (no shit!) hammerhead off Bean Point fishing for poons. They are out there.
Peace.
No go for tomorrow. Postponed to next Wednesday.
Going out on my boat on Thursday to drop some dead meat overboard under the Skyway, and see what we get. 10' Hammer would be sweet. Not sure my gear will hold up, but the short fight will be fun.
Probably a good call it looks less than stellar out there. Just sitting back at my desk recovering from my most recent tarpon ass kicking.Quote:

We immediately set out for a little evening run
Attachment 183566
The forecast had gone from awesome to straight up shit in the matter of a few days so we knew our time was limited. So dawn patrol was key
Attachment 183567
One thing about getting my ass kicked down here for the last several years is that my double haul while not dialed is vastly improved
Attachment 183568
Saturday morning was our best run. Jumped 2 tarpon, operator error and a bad knot resulted in neither one getting to the boat. But what a fucking rush.
Did manage to get this guy in though. Cuda on a fly is a kick in the ass
Attachment 183569
Then this happened
Attachment 183570
Attachment 183571
Which led to 2 days of this

Good thing I wasn't there, those last pictures would have been, ummm, different.
Actually, there would be no pictures.
There may be a few of those non pictures involved in this trip report.Quote:

we went in the back of the bay where 3 different rivers are dumping into the bay. Just after we got there at about 6:50am the tarpon start rolling, everywhere, hundreds if not thousands of tarpon (and sail cat and gar). my take was on a blind cast , across the river drift. 5 jumps and 35 mins later Dave leadered the fish, then it went for another run and landed on the leader and broke off.
it was the best 35 of my fishing life. I would not hesitate to go back out with this guy, I learned a lot.
Bumping this up for another season. Just booked my tickets for a run to the Keys. Warthog I would plan on land locked activities from June 17th to the 24th as the W is sure to howl for a solid week. Underoos you headed down this year?
Yep. Middle of May. Rental car is paid for if anyone wants to sleep in it. Alas, our boat is full.
Hmmm dont tempt me, I am fairly certain I could scrounge up a boat.
so youre sayin i gots a bedQuote:
