    Default My favorite fish of all time.

    The Tarpon.........it can be 5 pounds or 100 pounds and they are all "too much fun".

    I have been fly fishing for 40 years and the last 20 have been for Tarpon. I have been specializing in Baby Tarpon (5-35#) for the past 15 years in the Mexican Yucatan. We have 2 unbelievable locations where you can catch Baby Tarpon if you want to give it a try.

    I just found this video clip link on Dan Blanton's BB:

    Cool clip. My favorite fish (and scenario) of all time is a chrome bright saltwater silver salmon busting baitfish on the outside edge of a kelpbed. Sight casting, swinging a streamer just barely under the surface, and then watching the silver eat while a humpback whale busts bait just twenty yards away! Eeeeeeeeyow my hands are shaking just thinking about it!
    Cheers, Ken
    Love the challenge...What try? No try. Just do!

    Default Favorite Fish....

    ROOSTERS, ROOSTERS, ROOSTERS!!!!!..... After my first exposure to 'em, I'm sold. They look like a punk rocker with fins or with the camo colors, a special ops fish. Give 'em a knife and you wouldn't want to meet one in a dark alley..... Never, ever give Pez Gallo a shot of tequila. (....maybe a Sardina shooter )

    In the salt ?? Out of the ten species I've taken on flies so far ..... Ladyfish are total asskickers .

    Default Awa

    We don't have tarpon in Hawaii, but we do have awa, milkfish. They are pretty crazy, and tough to get on the fly in so many ways. Mems.

    Thanks to Bill and Marilyn Kiene I have experienced the thrills of Tarpon fishing and it is very exciting. One of the best fly rod gamefish. I loved the back country fishing for the babies. It was just like bass fishing but the grabs are ten times harder, crazy speed and more importantly the jumps were much higher and exciting. Every Tarpon that I hooked jumped into the air, EVERY single one.

    Tarpon fishing is awesome!

    When you are young, you believe that you are blazing a new trail. Older, you realize that it was a beaten track.

    We are working with video clips on the web site too. I think they are the greatest thing to come along in a while.
