Tarpon that was on my mind today and thankfully David was thinking the same thing.  After the last few days I nailed down the tarpon pattern and we hit it straightaway.  Armed with a 10wt fly rod in hand and a black fly I located the tarpo

It isn't often that a father/son go fishing and dad doesn't fish so his son can catch all the fish and that is Kelly for you.  This is the second or third time we fish and they are always great to be with.  Since Billy was the one

 After a slow week last week that I could hardly stomach I had the weekend off and patiently waited for my Monday trip with Jim in order to see if fishing had improved and find some kind of redemption.  So Jim jumps in the boat and off we
