Wayne,
Are you seeing any juvenile tarpon up your way? I've been reading reports
of lots of juvenile tarpon (15-30lbs) being caught in the Punta Gorda canals
on white bucktail jigs.

Interesting. I haven't seen any personally but I'll ask around the
neighborhood. We did have a school of fair sized fish in a feeding
frenzy right in front of the house the other day. I'm not sure what
they were but one neighbor thought they were "Jacks".

There is a seminar on local fishing being offered on Saturday morning
at the so called Cape Coral yacht club (actually a municipal
facility). I'm going to try and attend since I need to learn more
about fishing in this area. I trolled a couple of lures off the back
of the trawler coming north from Marco Isalnd a few weeks ago but no
hits. It would have been dumb luck but you never know. I used to
catch bluefish once in awhile trolling from my old sailboat when we
lived in the north east.
