Well, I don’t think I have seen so may tarpon and snook during the last two weeks of May in awhile. John Manuel and Lee Sprikles had a few days with me and what a great time we had. We jumped three tarpon each day put never got one to the boat.  The hook would pop out on the eat or they would jump off. We did manage a few nice snook each day and of course had some really big snook shots. One setup was a 34″plus snook with its tail out of the water under the mangrove roots. The fish would not eat.

It was good to see my good friend Brian Peck and his brother Glenn make it down for a day and what a day it was. We broke off three snook and had shots at four snook over 34″. One big snook ate the fly but the fly pulled out.  We ended up with a few snook but the big ones broke us off or the hook   popped out of their big bucket mouths. I really look forward to fishing Brian and Glenn Peck very soon. Thanks to all the others that made  the trip this month.
