Indian Summer, Tarpon Summer...

Although we're still in the roast of the SOFLA. sunglow, there are some tiny hints of fall. Bait schools were abundant this morning- not only whitebait, but some "showering" finger mullet as well. Not surprisingly, the tarpon were in the vicinity. As the sun rose and winds picked up, all the ruckus disappeared, but not before I jumped a 40-pounder and broke off a huge fish that I tried to pressure off a steep channel edge as the silver king attempted the old see-saw cutoff routine. In a few words, a short trip...but a good one.
