Posted on May 8, 2012 by Editor

Posted on May 4, 2012 by Editor

The tarpon weren’t biting so we changed course and caught dinner instead! Tremendous rains turned down the water temps and sent the tarpon out to the reef.  So, Joe and Kris opted for some fun fishing in Florida Bay with good eats as their reward for being flexible. Anglers: Joe Winslow, from Wildwood Crest NJ, [...]
