Well back from another awesome trip to Tarpon cay with my brother. Fishing was tougher than last year in the fish were spookier - some rally low tides that put the fish on edge but this is the first year we really found snook and we landed around a dozen - mostly Bob with his conventional bait casting with flukes - he can do amazing stuff flipping an skipping flukes deep under mangroves.

fish seemed to average a bit bigger this year though we did not get out to deep water due to winds for the big boys but that is ok as that is too much of a tug of war - really do prefer the "babies"

Here are some photos:
