Call the Fly Shop (the only one - but cannot remember the name) in Islamorada -- the run experienced fly fishing guides - don't do what we did - hire a guide who has taken people out fly fishing but prefers bait.

A little late. Funny I was speaking w/ a guide from Key West Saturday who knew the Guide I got out with for four hours. Mike Cyr was his name. Will post his company info later. He had me into fish in 10 minutes. Caught and landed an 80 pound Tarpon and a 15 pound Permit.

Sometimes you need to deal with the fact that you can't use the fly rod when the fish are 25 feet deep. The Permit was on the fly rod and a blast to catch.

Several years ago a magazine published an article on flats fishing if the Keys. I believe it was Saltwater Fly Fishing, before it merged with American Angler.

If you call them they can probably sell you the article.

And you wound up catching the catch of your life. Only you can decide if that was the permit or the new wife:rofl:

Considering I got married before the fishing I would have to say it was her.
Fridays conversation while sitting on the beach watching bait fish being chased.
Hey babe since were getting married saturday can I go fishing Sunday.
Babe: Sure I'll sleep in unless you want me to come with you.
I would like that if you came. If it's to sunny you can stay in and sleep. Would love for you to catch a Tarpon as big as you.
Babe: LOL thats not to hard.

Well after partying till 2 in the morning she slept in and I was up at 6.
See you later babe sleep well.
Hun your nuts. catch some big fish. zzzzzzzzzzzzz

After reading that I have to say - that was very heart warming.

I think the last time I was that touched was when Lassie returned home.

That Sunday evening sitting before the TV Timmy Martin wasn't the
only one unable to believe his eyes to see Lassie hobbling over that hill.

To this day it still warms the cockles of my heart.

Now, you see, I found his tale rather disappointing. I don't know... it just didn't ring true. It's as if it were fiction being passed as fact. Partying until 2:00 and up at 6:00? I mean, this was his wedding night, yes? Just sayin.

He left a whole four hours out of the story...
 
Hllywd first of all congrats on the marriage...secondly congrats on the tarpon...last but not least congrats on the permit on the fly..a highly coveted achievement.

Now AK...take it easy with those cockles you're talking about some youngsters like Justyn might get the wrong idea. Wouldn't want to distort the youth of the nation...they're our future dontcha know.

Burt you are so right.

However, he will have to do what the HAMMERHEAD's had to do while reading posts of mine is go to a DICTIONARY to look up these words, and guess what.. LEARN.... something.

Yes Burt, I am putting my name forward for consideration for NEFF's 2010 TEACHER OF THE YEAR in Engrish.

I think it was Robin Hood who once said English is the language.

Hey neighbor! An 80 pound Tarpon you say? 80 pound Tarpon is on my list of "10 fish to catch on a fly rod before you die". I was thinking about a trip to Venezuela but Florida is so much closer ;)

The fours hours your asking about will never be mentioned......
It's the hours before that you want to know about.

We did party till around 2. Look up Fantasy Fest 2009. A yearly tradition in Key West. :hubbahubba: Was neat I got to meet Ron Jeremy.... I washed my hands right after that. As my friend said be happy thats all you had to clean.:beingsick:

Thanks Mike, Drak's The Tarpon was on 12 pound light tackle drifting crabs. Next time out I plan on the Tarpon and a fly rod. Maybe next year I will setup a TU trip for that too. The Permit was on the fly. Pics on FB.
