June 8, 2011
Greetings!

The wind caused the SeaSquared to do quite a bit of trip juggling last week, but we got in a few tarpon and shark trips.

 

Family fun fishing for lemon sharks was the order of the day for first-time Keys visitors the Kanyok clan, from St. Louis MO, the Feldhaus crew, from Newburgh IN, and the Sarkan family, from Medinah IL.  All groups caught between five and 15 lemons and have the sore arms to prove it.

 

Sam Andras and Mike Tackett, from Georgia, went three for three on tarpon with their fish in the 60- to 80-pound class.  And, our regular clients, John and Teri Jordan, from Manhattan IL, tried tarpon fishing for the first time and had a blast.


Until next week ... tight lines!

Think of darts, ring toss, horseshoes or bocce ball using a fishing rod and a jig.

Picture a set of targets made of Styrofoam noodles floating in the water.
