Default Tarpon Fishing Report, Florida Keys

We've been down in the FL Keys now for over a week starting with 6
days docked in Key West while we waited out a spate of windy, rainy
weather. * It was a good excuse to check out some of the various
musical venues however and quaff a few margaritas. *It was song
writers week and a bunch of fresh talent had been brought in from
Nashville, some of it quite good.

Meanwhile we had a 6 ft tarpon living under our dock who stuck his
nose out once in a while just to get my attention, and he had a whole
bunch of cousins living just a bit further down the dock where the
tourists hang out. * Since I have not yet had the pleasure of hooking
up with a big tarpon, all of this is whetting my appetite for some
serious fishing. * We are now anchored down in the mid Keys near the
Little Palm Island Resort, a spot that had been recommended to me by
one of the local charter captains. * I'm armed with 20 pounds of
frozen mullet chum and 10 pounds of whole frozen Threadfin Herring.
I spent the afternoon chumming and dangling the herring without any
real luck, except for one massive breakoff by something not
identified. * Sunset has come and gone with no luck but now the lights
are on and I'm still chumming. * Fortunately the water is calm, the
scenery good, and the television reception decent - all of which has
so far averted a crew mutiny.

Stay tuned.

Something like that asswipe who fishes for endangered fish, like
Sturgeon?
