Been having a blast down here. A couple days i woke up early and hit the beach before the wind picked up. Using deceiver patterns ive caught a bunch of silver thin fish that are about 20" long. Have no idea what they are, but they are a fun fighting fish.

Hit the flats today with the guide. Lets start off by saying that i suck. What a difference it is trying to cast to a fish at 11:30, 25 meters, one chance. That happened to me many times today with permit, they are a spooky fish, i also struck out with bonefish as well. I was able to hook 2 "baby" tarpon, and land one. I had a shot at a very nice size tarpon, but decided it was more fun to screw up my back cast and play with the mangrove bushes.

Thankfully my guide was patient. I have my homework cut out for me for next year. I need to build a new rod, it's always the rods fault you know.

Waking up at 5am tomorrow for one last shot on the beach. We return home Saturday and then it's time to start focusing on steelhead fishing next week.

Stay there. There are no steelhead here. Except this one. But just this one.



Oh and this one that Garrett caught.

The thin silver fish could be Ladyfish. They have big eyes and kinda remind of big sardines. Great fighters, known as the poor man's tarpon.

I was getting swayed towards the salt but Sandy came, so back to steel...

Ladyfish. Thank you. I looked them up and that's exactly what they were. Very fun fish.
