Warm again, and trout fishing 101

February 9, 2011 Comments Off on Warm again, and trout fishing 101

Now I know from a recent conversation with Thomas “Titan of Law” Rapone that the Northeast is in pretty bad shape weather-wise. The weather here, however, is very nice. We had a small front roll through yesterday, and were unable to find any tarpon in the channels (we did, however, get to jump some smaller…

A bit of cold

February 8, 2011 Comments Off on A bit of cold

It’s 11:22 in the post-meridian, and I just returned from fishing. My thinking was that the water would still be warm after the light cold front that rolled throuh last night, yet most of the water temperatures we read were between 63 and 66 degrees f. We marked a few fish in the channels on…

Weather/Mola update

February 2, 2011 Comments Off on Weather/Mola update

The weather today is, to be fair, pretty near to perfect. After a few days of this, we should see some phenomenal tarpon and permit fishing. In fact, I have already heard a few reports of boats that saw tarpon in the channels this morning–the good news is that as long as the weather remains…

A mystery

February 1, 2011 Comments Off on A mystery

On my way back through Northwest channel today, I stopped to see a large mola-mola (ocean sunfish) that seemed to be in some trouble. We pulled up alongside the fish, and grabbed it’s dorsal fin. A closer look revealed a square hole, obviously made with some sort of sharp blade, cut through the dorsal fin.…
