Hello everyone, well the tarpon season so far has been the typical tarpon fishing scenario. Some days we jump or land a fish and others all we get to do is look at them. Tim had a great day with me this week as he presented the fly beautifully to a string of fish and hooked up to a beauty of a Nature Coast tarpon. He fought the fish for over an hour on his 11wt fly rod and we brought her boat side for pictures and a healthy release. The old reliable cockroach fly pattern did the job and great job Tim... Capt.

A scouting trip today with good friends Clay and Jeremiah as they are preparing for a tournament this weekend. I need a day break to rest a bit from 4 hard days of tarpon fishing, so I sat back and enjoyed the boat ride. We covered a bunch of areas and saw some good numbers of red fish and even more snook. We caught a couple fish and made a good game plan for the tournament tomorrow. Good time today guys and I thank you.... Capt. Dan
A good start to my tarpon season as I had Dave on board and he boated the first fish. He and I had a really fun day covering quite a bit of ground. The wind was up for the morning hours and we had to wait a couple hours for it to lay down to see some fish. Finally around noonish, the conditions got right and he hooked up. He did a terrific job and congratulations on your first tarpon... Capt. Dan
Hello everyone, well this is the time of year when I switch gears to mainly tarpon fishing. I'll be targeting them for the most part all the way until the end of June, with just a couple other charters mixed in. I added a new bow mount trolling motor to the Silver King this year and after missing last year due to my medical issues, I'm really looking forward to this season. The flies are tied and fly rods ready - I'll see you all soon... Capt. Dan
