Re: First Tarpon of 2007 on Fly!
I had 2 monster tarpon in the 150 lb+ range roll by my skiff last week right at the entrance to the barge canal at the Crystal River powerplant. They hung out within 30 yards for 5-10 minutes. I threw everything in the tackle box near them and they wouldn't do more than swim over and look at my flys. As a new fly-fisherman, when I saw them I was so excited I could hardly stand it. Then I was so dissapointed I could hardly stand it. Talk about an emotional swing!
