Back in The Key West Tarpon Sopa

Winter to Summer overnight,   not exactly but the Tarpon population showed up quickly when the air temps. got into the 70's.

In the air they go, these Super Silver Sunset Surprize's...God and all of us love um.

Permit are in the Chow Line too,  celebrating the thaw....it has been a long winter for all of us Tropical Fish.

Big Fly Rod's come out of the rack, lock and load.... prepare for immediate action !

Swim Baits for the Spinning Anglers and Chicken Feathers for Fly Fishing Fin-atic's

Have a long warm rest Mr. Barracuda,        I'll see you in the Fall.

Winter's Over In Key West......Fish Hope!

Wow,  never was in Long Underwear so often as the last January/ Febuary in Key West.

Not even in British Columbia, North Eastern Ohio........It was a winter to forget.

Riding in a Flats Skiff at 30 + mph in 50 ish damp wind is not fun, the Flats Fish that prefer water in the low 70's to upper 80's have not been happy.

THAT'S OVER !  today will hit the mid 70's and the water on the Flats has already come up 5 degrees, it will leap up to uper 60's and by the end of the week probably be 72+

The first clue will be the Barracuda's attacking anything that moves and Sharks on the prowl. Big Jacks behind Sting Rays on the Flats and Pompano and Jacks and Blue Fish hungry and busting up the channels and basin's.

The Permit will be abundit in a day or two with crab lunch planned !


Bone Fish, Tarpon?  Maybe this weekend.......YES
