Everglades Fishing – Captain Ned Small

They’re here. Green Giants. The weather was perfect, the water temperature 66 degrees at daylight and rising, Bob and I set out with one thing in mind, tarpon, and we found them. Two different lagoons, each with a newly arrived school of giants. This was Bob’s first attempt at tarpon and I think we have a convert! The opportunities came fast, all morning, knee knocking, adrenaline pumping, technique shattering excitement. Sleepers! After at least a dozen attempts, Bob finally put the fly right on the lips of a giant and she took the fly without hesitation. The battle was brief but glorious. Welcome home ladies.
