Fishing Reports
Yes, August is here and the Tarpon have returned to the rivers and back country.
Lynn Skipper had fun with his 10wt outfit on Sunday morning tackling a 50# tarpon in the river.
Tarpon are active at sunrise and snook will be biting at night going into the full moon.

Versatility can turn a poor fishing day into a productive fishing adventure.
Rich and Gin Ford traveled from Bristol, England to join Leslie and I on Big Pine Key. Hopefully, to hook up on their first tarpon. We cast to some big boys on the oceanside only to be frustrated by their refusals.
