Tarpon

[GenCon]

So I will be leaving tomorrow morning for my annual fly tarpon trip. I have a couple new flys to try. Also I am bringing a new Rod. A 11wt. Orvis Helios.

Should be a fun time.

Awesome. Good luck. Out of Islamorada? Who is your guide?

I have the same rod that I use for musky right now. I do plan to use it for Tarpon as well though.

Yes, I will be fishing out of Islamorada. I will be fishing with Robert Kline. His knowledge of the back country is mind boggling.

Wow, sorry guys. I am so late with this report. Just been crazy busy since I got back. Tarpon fishing was terrible. Bad weather, very few fish. The back country seemed void of fish. A tropical storm went through before I got there. Pushed the fish out of the back. Oceanside fish were there but very squirrely. They were there but would not eat.
I got 1 little fish about 50 lbs. No one was catching anything. I talked to a lot of anglers and guides. It was just bad. Oh well, it goes that way sometimes. I am looking forward to a better season next June.
I guess it cant be any worse.

One little guy at 50 lbs? I classify that as a trophy. Nice job.

I know how the weather down there can change things drastically. It happen to me when I was down there this year too.
