Here were today's choices. Full moon coming, lots of clouds and overcast in the presence of high humidity and syrupy air pumped from the hurricane crossing Honduras. I could spend the day struggling to see into the water for bonefish and wait for midday to see low tide tailing bonefish break the surface. No way!
These are the conditions tarpon love-that low light, bathtub situation. I found one of my "basins" in Biscayne Bay, and there they were, at the first light of a dawn obliterated by clouds. Today featured schools of whitebait, so tiny strips were employed on 8/30 PowerPro with nine foot salmon rods. The baits were absolutely gobbled on the "drop." Tally for two hours fishing: 4 released tarpon to 40 pounds, 4 more jumped, and a 'cuda over 30 pounds that snipped the hook before the leader touched the rod tip. Additionally, gator trout love these same exact conditions. When they're on the Indian River flats under dawning cloudy skies, no need to see them..just cast the area gently with artificials.
