I had two trips today with both being the opposite ends of the fishing spectrum. In the morning I had Blake and his father in law Craig and Blake wanted to fly fish for tarpon. I looked high and low around Key Biscayne, usually the epicenter of spring tarpon season, and they were MIA. This season is starting off like the last few years, slow and disappointing. Anyway, I took them to a spot where there are usually some snook around and smaller tarpon. Switching gears, I had Blake cast to some snook structure while Craig tossed a bait behind the boat. On the second cast Craig hooks a smaller tarpon but it came off after the first jump. Wow! As expected, eventually Blake caught his first snook on fly and Craig caught his first snook while the tarpon moved through for a while and Blake took a bunch of shots but the tarpon passed on the fly, not a shocker.
In the afternoon I had long time client Josh and his two boys, Will and Joshua. They wanted a cool fun afternoon on the water catching anything and so we did. We caught a bunch of snappers and hooked two black tip sharks before calling it a day. It was great to see Josh and Will again and meeting Joshua for the first time.
