Georgia Tarpon in December I headed down and met Rob and his family for a few days of fishing before Christmas. We were in Islamorada fishing out of Lower Metacumbe Key where a friend of ours owns a house. I hadn't fished out of Islamorada since my dad passed away 4 years ago. He and I spent a lot of time down there fishing and enjoying many memories together. He was diabetic and we almost everyday would run to World Wide and eat lunch at Islamorada Fish Company. He would tell me about fishing in Biscayne Bay and trips he took to Cuba as a young man. How he and Capt. Joe Johanson would pole the flats in Islamorada all day to catch that 1 perfect fish.
