Permit on a Tarpon fly is a great experience, especially when it happens within minutes of fighting a Tarpon with the same fly! Curtis from Oklahoma recently jumped a 60 pound Tarpon with a Marquesa Sunrise fly, then about 10 minutes later he cast to and landed this 17 pound Permit. Set for a a Tarpon pull, the TIBOR GULFSTREAM…

I think what attracts us to fishing just like gambling, hunting, chasing (men) women in bars, is the element of “ya just never know.”  About the time you think you’ve got it figured out, you find out you don’t know squat.  I always say that I leave the dock with a plan that is subject to change at any time…

Something new that Capt. Steve and I are adding to our repetoire this summer is daytime Swordfishing.
