| Low winds, calm morning at Caladesi |
The tarpon have arrived --- not in full force --- but enough to get the blood pumping. Despite a lingering case of the flu, I went out Thursday morning. My friend Parker poled around and generated a half dozen chances, but I had trouble seeing the fish in time. I was always late with my presentation and in tarpon fishing, you're on the move, so you've got to get the fly to the fish on time. That means you have to see the fish as early as possible as they approach the boat. Typically, I didn't look out far enough from the boat. I focused within casting range. If you wait that long to take your shot, it's too late. Lesson learned.
