Spring Unfolding.....

For the time being, the thickness of the Spring Sun's radiant honey is a mismatched winner as it flows over the lands, seas, bays, and trees of South Florida. Its opponent- cranky, chilly winter is on the run, its porcupine icicles melting from the pursuing warmth. Spring is here for now, and the tarpon and jack crevalles are out in force- I happily released 1 of the former and 2 of the latter yesterday. Yet early Spring is a tricky time: one never knows when winter-on-the-run won't get an assist from one of its Canadian big brothers headed South, and the battle see-saws back towards cool weather. But like all things, let's enjoy it now and make the most of it! Ready for your first 2006 tarpon? I was!
