Little Torch Key - Saltwater Fishing Report
Tarpon season is here!!!!
I got to fish today!!!! We had a short day today... My angler was not feeling well... Some times Key West can be too much fun.. especialy if you bring your 21 year old son... Stay away from the jello shot girl, no matter how cute she is...
I dropped my client off at the dock, thought about all the stuff I could get done by coming in early.. laundry, fix the trailer tire that blew yesterday, tye more flies, pay bills, wax boat, rig rods, clean apt., etc..
So I did what any tarpon guide that has been on the water every day since some time in March would do...
I headed back out to "The Bay of Pigs" to catch the beginning of the incoming. Staked up on a good edge, with a down wind shot.. For an hour and a half I had some good shots at singles, doubles and some small schools of a dozen or more.. This is only the second day I had a chance to cast at tarpon this season... been booked every day since before the migration started..
IT WAS FUN!! Really FUN!!
Tom McGuane: "When you hook a tarpon it is like pushing a Stienway piano off a cliff."
I have been getting a lot of last minute calls from anglers wanting to squeeze in a day of fishing... I guess the words is out!!
I have June 7,8,14-30 available... Lets go fishing....
Come on down and put a big fish in the air!
