well i'm back from a 2 week stint in florida 1 week torture at disney and a week on the west coast tortured by 30 mph northley winds [ the ones we wanted all winter hear] but me and my lad kyle managed a couple of days afloat sadley not fishing for tarpon but any fishing better than no fishing

kyle with his first jack , he was amazed how hard they can pull [ a 3lber would tow a 15lb cod backwards]

me with a 12lber caught on a 5lb class spining rod with 10lb braid, took 100yards with its first run and 15 minuets to land [ god i wish we caught them hear ] i think it would have towed ramrods yak at 10 knots it had so much power
kyle with a small shark, just after the pic they droped it in the bottom of the boat and we were dancin round all wearing flip flops

me with a small grouper , caught a few of these an had a 4lber snached by a 6ft long dew fish/gag grouper near the surface the thing must have been 150lbs dont think it even new it was atached to me just smoked my real back to its hole

kyle with a nice spanish mack , skipper[ or capt as they like to be called over there] name kyle the mackeril king as he could catch em to order. great on the barbi

2 more of the clan, wonder if i'll be draging them along the rocks at hawsker in a few years time, bad enough with kyle never mind two at once

and after a dip in the sea its straight in the washer before bed.
all the boat fishing was done with capt tim drumond of fine line charters
http://www.charterfishtampabay.com/ used him for 10 years always on the fish , no fish no fee or thats what he says
well i'll sit back and wait for all the p@@s takeing to begin mww and ramrod
