Not the ideal conditions for tarpon charters the last couple of days, but we hung in there and saved the day. I was at the Homosassa Fishing Club with my great friends Capt. Mark Zorn, William Toney, Jonathan Hamilton and Jim Farrior and we had the pleasure of fishing the O'Kelly party. Tarpon was on order for Fridays trip, however rain storms and 20 mph winds just wouldn't let us make it happen. We saved the day with some spoon fed reds in the creeks and lost a hefty snook to end the day. Saturday's trip was a great time with some inshore fishing and shore lunch. My team didn't do well on keepers and we encountered mostly short trout, but Capt. Z took the prize with big catch and he did very well. A fine shore lunch with a special grilled red fish addition to the menu and we all thank you for a fun couple of days. Here's Brandt with a salt river red fish caught on a gold spoon... Capt. Dan
