Tarpon On Fly

I fished with a nice guy from New Jersey this morning. It was slick calm a we left Ocean Reef Club. At our first stop we had had a great shot at some fining Permit. The combination of a long winter without casting and a big fly rod did us in. As the morning progressed so did the casting level. The Flats were alive with Tarpon this morning and we capped it off with a 100-pounder on a Black Death.

This afternoon I fished with a mother and daughter from Miami. We had lots of shots at both Tarpon and Permit. We were hooked up to a dandy Permit when a huge school of Tarpon came by and cut the line with their fins! Bummer!!
