Being up early and catching threadfins and scaled sardines payed off today. At about 10 AM the fish exploded on the bait, and 250 yards later and 40 minutes of fighting, the Tarpon was boated and released. Brandon Jeffress from Indianapolis, Indiana could barely contain his excitement from bagging his first Silver King.
Catch the Fever!

Bio: As with most diehard fisherman I started at an early age. Growing up on the Indian Rocks Pier I learned quickly that the "Oldtimers" were vast with knowledge. They took me under their wings and shared that much needed knowledge. In 1985 Hurricane Elena took away my favorite fishing pier and with it the informal educational sessions I so enjoyed. I moved to later work as a mate on a commercial fishing vessel. In my spare time I fished off piers and the flats.
Then I met an excellent local fisherman by the name of Kenny Krohl who introduced me to "Light Tackle Sport Fishing". I learned the finer points of fly fishing and light tackle. Kenny holds several IGFA World Records on a fly rod and light gear. I have made the backwater estuaries my second home.
Come experience the joys and excitement of "Skinny Water" fishing at it's best!
