My ROFF news group buddy Steve Banard had great fishing in Belize with local guide Julian Cabral out of Placencia. They hooked this fish inside the lagoon at Tarpon Cay on a Gummy Minnow.

very nice fish Bill - makes me start to drool and can't wait until next year!!!
Does anyone sell gummy minnows tied on 2/0 or 3/0 hooks? I'd like to take a couple to Belize this summer.
I have been looking at the Umpqua catolog and it looks like they come in 2, 6 and 8.
I will have to call them today.
A #2 will work for baby tarpon to 30 pounds according to Chico and Lefty.
I am sure they are going to make them bigger becuase this seem to be the 'year of the Gummy'.

BILL: With all due respect to Lefty and Chico, both of whom I admire greatly, I need a bigger hook(or at least I think I do). If you get your hands on some, please post a note. Or, if someone out there will tie some on, say, a TMC 600sp 3/0.
I talked with Bruce Olsen @ Umpqua today. They only make size #2, 6 and 8 on standard SS bonefish hooks.
Next season they will have them on larger 600SP hooks.
