Fishing Reports
Tonight we leave for 3 days of fishing with Captain Joe Rodriguez. The water is warm (and warming), and my guess is that the first day will be spent looking for redfish and the next two for our tarpon. A report will follow. ncl/tac
Read MoreIt’s cold, that’s for sure. While this little front is scheduled to leave in the next few days, the sub-60 degree weather is shocking, especially after such a mild (and tarpon filled) winter. On Wednesday I leave for 3 days in the Everglades with Joe Rodriguez in pursuit of the 6, and the high is…
Read MoreAt lunch today I ran into my good friend (and great angler) Dave Dalu. He later stopped by the shop with his wife Olivia and two children, the oldest of which is pictured below with her first redfish: I leave next Wednesday for three days in the park with Captain Joe Rodriguez in pursuit of…
Read MoreLast night Aaron and I went off for a tactical tarpon mission–he had seen some fish and we wanted to get after some bigger fish at night, something we hadn’t done in a while. We waited for the rain to clear and headed out. Aaron caught a small fish in short order while we waited…

After hitting a wayward alligator on 41, we arrived safely at our hotel and inspected the Goose (astro van) for damage. There wasn’t much, and we retired by 11:30 for a 6:30 breakfast meeting. After a great breakfast and…
Read MoreDay 2 began with clear skies and warm water, and our fishing showed improvement. We fed a large fish at around 10 AM, and pulled the hook out of it’s mouth on the hook set. Immediately thereafter, we hooked a large fish that stayed connected. We survived the first set of jumps and we fired…
Read MoreDay two ended with some fish that were dipping their tails into the sunlight, and we saw a fish that was very close to the boat that provided a good shot, but I broke the tippet on the hook set. This was the end of day 2, and we returned home for a lovely dinner…
