Thoughtful Measured Morning...

I heard from my friend Don Eichin that some tarpon were spotted rolling in an urban backbay yesterday.

Four days in the office were enough to make me rabid to fish by friday.

Friday was not good. Winds had increased to 20 mph out of the southeast. I did play around a nighttime bridge and released a 10-pound jack.

By dawn, I slipped into the alleged tarpon spot. I only saw about a dozen fish roll and had no strikes.

A guide in a Ghanoe slipped in behind me on his electric as he slow-trolled live bait for his customers. This convinced me it was time to wrap it up for the day and await better times.
