One of the best days I've had on the water. I had the day off today and was in search of tarpon. I left Pete's Pier on the Crystal River, and just a little ways down the river I had tarpon rolling all around the boat. I had one hook up on a plug and lost it immediately (good jump though). I called Capt. Kyle Messier, who also had the day off, to tell him about the numerous fish I was seeing. So I picked him up down river, and we ran to another area that I have been seeing fish. Well let me tell you, it was unbelievable. Schools and schools of tarpon were all around us, and I put the fly right in the middle of them "several times", but unfortunately no hook ups. We estimated seeing well over fifty fish today and the majority of them we less than 30ft from the boat. It was a day to remember. The bull sharks were hot on there trail and one particular shark we saw was several hundred pounds. We left the tarpon, and fished one oyster bar on the way in; just to catch a trout real quick. Kyle's first cast was a hook up, and here is a nice trout caught on the fly...Capt. Dan
