Happy Birthday Cordell!

Glad to see you are back posting and will hopefully see you out there on the bay soon. I was able to get some tarpon and unexpected bonefish this last weekend. The conditions are sure getting better for fishing the bay with lot's of tarpon everywhere.

Now if only I could catch one of those permit

thanks everybody...the planets must have aligned because I have since then delivered even better shots at huge permit only to be rejected hard

...the cycle continues.....

As I mentioned on another forum ... Happy Birthday and thanks for posting those pics so, if nothing else, I can live vicariously fishing for 'Poons, Permit and Bonz!!!

Good Job!!!

a triple would have been better

next yr I guess...Snookfinatic, I am waiting for you to show...even as we speak I am tying 2 dozen flies for thurdays client...I will have my "A" game with me complete with new rods, line and pushpole so I will no longer be held back such as I have been...I am increasing length of pushpole to 15.5 ft instead of weenie 13ft and this will allow me to outrun anybody out there paddling or catch them from behind and take their spot

just kidding...I would rather lead you on a snipe hunt

...seriously, when you are coming give me big notice and I will do all I can to fish with you...I will take you to the battle grounds and assure you of getting shots
