Got out for a half day today the winds were howling 25 mph out of the south with the front that is nearby. I had Jim out with his family from Texas. Luckily no rain. I suggested cutting the day a little short with the conditions and it proved to be a good choice. We found quite a few tarpon early on but not much action the first hour, but we knew they were there. Once the tide started coming in we re-positioned and soon hooked a big old tarpon. We landed him, got him on the leader several times, after a long battle though he broke us off in the bridge. Later we hooked another tarpon and we got this one to the boat after a much shorter 10 minute fight, though the fish did almost spool us it was very close! A 120 lb fish, nice one! After that we jumped off another tarpon and caught a nice 100 lb sawfish, plus a big barracuda and a big jack were had in between. All in all good fishing lots of action and a happy half day! 2 for 3
