Beach Snook Upddate

Good story on beach snook from Terry Tomalin of the Tampa Bay Times. I've been wanting to get out the long rod and sight fish, but the conditions haven't been consistently good enough for me to head over to Honeymoon beach. Maybe things will improve after Chantal moves on.  I hope so.

Mike Barrett was convinced the approaching storm had shut down the snook bite. But sometimes all it takes is a little sunshine to turn a day around.
"It seems like these waves are getting bigger," he said as we worked our baits on an outgoing tide on Honeymoon Island in Dunedin. "I don't know how long we can last."

Tarpon turmoil

Nice work from Terry Tomalin at the Times. It's an issue that needs to be addressed.

Something to think about

An important item to think about from my friend Terry Tomalin at the Tampa Bay Times. Tarpon should be catch-and-release.
