Everglades Fishing – Captain Ned Small

Back to the shop today, fuse panel self destructed. The good news is; we don’t have the trolling motor yet. But we do have the new Yamaha, 60 horse, fuel injected four stroke with the magnum lower unit, turbine ingested bio-filter and a giant 3 blade, custom fitted, state of the art, jet propelled, NASA designed wheel, and of course, nanno-titanium heads. During the third shakedown with the second propeller today, just me and a full tank of gas, I reached 36.2 MPH. The scary thing is, I could have gone faster if the water had been calm. I used the obligatory shakedown to check a half dozen tarpon spots, as far north as Faka Union. There are a few tarpon out there, if you’re willing to pole for miles for a couple of shots. They’re big, though. A big low pressure system overhead right now, no rain. High winds forecast. Gulf temp about 77 degrees. I just got a report of a massive migration down south. Giants. Stay tuned.
