Tarpon and Martinis were the story for today's trip.  We had about 2 hours of overcast skies with light rain this morning.  We found a school of Tarpon that looked like they might be hungry but went bagels on bites.  In the photo I am photographing the fishermen photographing the fish while we start getting soaked to the bone.   Getting soaked with water, fresh or salt, is not uncommon while fishing, but it a lot more tolerable when the fish bite or at least show themselves.  Several hundred Tarpon did show themselves, rolling all around the boat, but they were busy doing other things than feeding when we made it to the bridge.  That is not going to last long.  They will start biting and the weather will clear, today we just had to settle on fish photos and wet Martinis. 

 Marathon in the Florida Keys should be your next fishing vacation destination. Join us for charter fishing, fishing guide trips or our fishing 101 so you can fish on your own with better success.

Tight lines,

Capt. Dallas
