"He dance with my girl - I _____ him!". Why is it I think most of you have been reading Carl Hiassen books? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"He dance with my girl - I _____ him!". Why is it I think most of you have been reading Carl Hiassen books? Nah, I don't have anything good to say about that guy. Hiaasen stole most of his stories from my diary while he and I were roomies in the incorrigible wing at the Florida Institute for Mental Health. We were good friends until he escaped and got them published while I was involved in a thorazine experiment. In fact, I've always suspected that I was the inspiration for "Chemo" in his second book.

sthrncomfort 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2013 Fished tarpon today. First one came unbuttoned after being stuck. Two more ate and I set the damn hook too fast. I go again wednesday Note to self: Fly to the ENP tomorrow before Kudu goes out on Wed. Good luck! I've got a couple of trips planned once things at work slow down, but until then I'm stuck day dreaming about 200 lb tarpon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peterjay 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2013 Guess we can all pray for a spring blizzard down there. Or maybe a hammerhead invasion. The water here hasn't even hit 50 yet, and I still haven't finished fixing up my 12wt. The suspense is beginning to build. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kudu 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 Rest easier. I had a 100lb tarpon on for about 20 minutes when it broke my 20lb class. This happened after he tightened the drag on my 12wt. Black Death toad. I really wanted a treppa fly. I did manage to scrounge out 2 permit later with one being 25lb+ (not on the fly). Peace out it is beer thirty!!!!

Kudu 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 Guide tightened drag. Don't know why. Very good guide but it is all about the eat not the fight. I'd bump up the class on the leader. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
