Hey Pochy!Thank you for a fantastic fishing trip!!!!!

I went fly fishing for tarpon with Light Tackle Adventure for 4 days in late May. It was my first real try at tarpon, and while I had heard that Boqueron Bay was the place to go for tarpon, I had no idea how much fun I would have!

These fish fight like monsters, and are usually eager to take the fly. I've spent most my life fishing for trout, though in the last ten years I've put in many hours going after bonefish, permit, and recently, redfish. The tarpon are by far the greatest fighters of the bunch, and despite watching countless videos of fly fishing for tarpon on TV, no one could have prepared me for the majesty of these leaping fish.

Capt.Pochy, was the best guide I've had anywhere in the Caribbean. We fished the calm flats in the morning, casting to the fins that seemed to sprout up everywhere, then moved to the mangroves when the wind picked up. Fishing along the mangroves involves casting right along the edge of the mangrove while keeping one eye focused on the shallow water in front of the boat for cruising fish.

Thanks again and look forward to my next excursion with you .
