Tarpon Chronicles 2014 Day 4

May 15, 2014

The wind was down slightly this morning. but there was still a pretty good lump to the water.  So much so that Don didn't fish for the second day.  He was still feeling the effects of yesterday and getting back on the water wouldn't help. The later we got into the day though, the more the wind and wave action laid down.

I feel a bit snake-bitten right now.  I fed three more tarpon today and didn't get to pull on a single one of them.  For the second straight day a fish had my fly deep in its mouth, roughing up the leader, and the hook missed the mark.   Three years ago I hooked 31 in six days... seems like a lifetime ago.
