They’re Here… Photo by Louis Cahill
I thought I’d take this opportunity to tease you with a quick tarpon photo.
I’ve been on, kind of a roll, about bonefish lately and with my third trip to the Bahamas in five months just around the corner, that’s not going to change for a bit. I thought I should warn you however, that tarpon season is starting early this year and I will likely be rattling on about that very soon.
Prehistoric giants taking to the air! Big steel jaws like Rock ’em Sock ’em Robots! Exploding rods and reels! God I love tarpon!
The word from my boy Capt. Joel Dickey in Big Pine Key is that the fishing has started heating up. He tells me he is seeing good numbers of fish in the backcountry as of the second week of February. Early season tarpon fishing can sometimes be the best of the year so if you don’t have a trip planned, get on it!
