Kayak Tarpon?

Not yet, but I was faithful to the task for a hour and a half. I was floating a pinfish under a cork waiting for something to happen & reminded that fishing and patience are supposed to go together.

I'll try again until it happens.

I gave up & turned on the Chug Bug for some nice +20" trout.

Stick to it!- Nice trout on the Chug Bug

I keep watching the beach for them but they have not returned.
I did get drug a mile or so down the beach by what turned out to be a big stingray

I'm going out tomorrow am to chase fish....

Kayak caught Tarpon -

I caught 4 or 5 others this same day - believe it or not Dec. 24, 2006 - Christmas Eve in the Panhandle, not down South....Now if I could just catch a red on a flyrod.

Wishful thinking is that the fish will jump enough first. I do have a drift anchor ready and I could put my regular anchor out.

Capt Ron wrote:PS I hope you've got a sit in yak, there have been a bunch of bull sharks around the tarpon this year.

Yes I do & that is very good advice. That said, I wasn't using it last time out

. Thanks, I've heard enough Boca stories.
