General Discussion / Re: Tarpon
« Last post by MikeA on June 12, 2023, 08:24:02 AM »
Saw a few people looking for them at Cape San Blas last week. The water there was gin clear also. I didn't see any tarpon but saw plenty of other fish. Mostly Sharks, Specks and Reds. Oh and Sailcats which I found that I prefer over Redfish to eat. I've always been told that you don't eat sailcats. Wrong, they are delicious.

General Discussion / Tarpon
« Last post by icthus on June 11, 2023, 05:19:56 PM »
Went out Saturday… blacked out well; went south, one rolling tarpon.  After a hour went north and found numerous schools well over 300 tarpon spotted. Casted a fly and they didn’t eat, tossed in line bait and they ate, or at least one did.  Broke off 65lb test.  Fish was a beast, Crystal clear water, great eat.

Travel next week,
More to come

General Discussion / memorial day

Remember the day's you would be on the Caney early before the canoes came floating down causing all sorts of ruckus.  Even on Memorial Day, get out at daylight put in at the carthage ramp and paddle up to stonewall.  Get lucky and hit a caddis hatch behind the factory, fish low water with some pals until 2 or 3 and float out with the generation.  Those were some good times.  Trust me when I say I hope to never leave this state and the area I live in, but that was not a bad way to live either.

Happy Memorial Day Pals....

PS-in two weeks Pal Junior should complete his diving certification, so that should be awesome

Those would be helpful on the windy days for sure.  Normally I dump the line in the bottom of the boat.

Cheers Pals

Needs some of these. Not super pretty but they keep your running line in the boat.

I would be cognoscente of the seaweed bloom heading to the east coast.  They said June July it’s going to hit.  I will let you know as well.

I've been offered 16k with the old engine on it.  Ive upgraded the speakers, GPS, and trailer.  Jess has asked if we could sell the boat and get something bigger.  I almost moved her out after that conversation.

I kid-best boat on the water.  Dry, drafts next to nothing, and easy to poll.

What side of the state are you going to?

Not sure yet. Waiting on pal to make his mind up. If he can't go I'm gonna prolly fly alone. Pals don't pal around like they used to.

I can be there in July. Nice rig. I remember the night I found that boat. If I remember right, we paid like $2300 for it. Insane.

General Discussion / A new platform

Well, after many months. The maverick has a new polling platform. I had one fabricated last year after putting on a new engine and the saying… you get what you paid for.  $600 and an uncorking platform.  I asked around found quality T tops.  Had a 6 week wait, but I must say it was well worth it. Let a pal know when you are heading down and maybe we can go site fish some reds and tarpon. 

Have a great day pals,
Pal
