Since I am still trying to recuperate from the long days I have been putting in the last 20 or so straight days I am going to again keep this mainly to a photo report. I took all these shots last week while fishing with Nick Pujic and Nicole Parks from Fly Max Films and my buddy Rob McAbee, creator of Bug Slinger Fly Gear. The week was off the hook, literally, we jumped about 10 tarpon in total and only boated one baby and one beach fish. As most of us know that is how tarpon fishing can be especially with a fly rod but, all that was over shadowed by the fact that we got into a killer permit bite on fly and a few cobia. The highlight if you ask me was the 50 pound cobia that Rob caught on fly. The video footage is insane and will be used on their TV show "Fly Nation" and in some short films. I will also have a short clip up on my webpage soon. I now have some new friends for life and that is priceless, thanks for the opportunity guys I can't wait until next time.

Even I got into the action!

Tarpon quickie

This is another quickie, I have a few minutes before I have to leave for my charter. These shots are from the last week, the tarpon fishing was good yesterday following a few tough days when the cloud cover and south wind were hard to overcome. The beach has been full of big jacks still and some cobia, we did get a nice 38 pound cobia on a Hogy 9 inch skinny a couple days ago.

I am still on the quest for the perfect jumping tarpon picture but I thought I would share with you my progress. I am adding a Nikon D90 to the family so look for my wide angle stuff to be shot from that and my telephoto action stuff will still be shot by my incredibly fast D300.

Next week I have 5 straight days with Nick and Nicole from Fly Max Films out of Canada and joining us will be my buddy Rob McAbee from Bug Slinger. It should be a very cool week with lots of stills and video in the near future so stay tuned. I have to go, I think I smell the tarpon.
