[font "Arial"][size 2]This may sound like a broken record, however, tarpon fishing at Haulover Inlet has been nothing short of spectacular.[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2][/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]On Wednesday evening, there was a major shrimp run and the tarpon where there by the hundreds to feed to their hearts content. It started with our first fish at 8:30 pm and was still going on when we left at 11:00 pm. During that time, we hooked up 8 fish, which included one double header. We landed and released 6. The fish were in the 60 - 110 pound class. I had one exhausted angler by the time we headed back in, but it was a good type of exhaustion.[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2][/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]Thursday evening we were hoping for the same results. We jumped a fish before it got dark and then landed and released another just after dark. The tarpon started blasting baits on the surface and we thought it was time for the fire works to begin. A boat running to the south put the fish down and we never saw them again the remainder of the evening. I moved up to the Inlet to see if the shrimp were running and [/size][/font][font "Arial"][size 2]we hooked up a double header and landed both fish. Then it seemed like the fish just disappeared. We never saw a single shrimp tonight. We had hoped for more, however, we where pleased with the 3 for 5 night that we had.[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2][/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]If this sounds like fun, give me a call to schedule a trip. Once you've caught one tarpon, you'll want to catch another and another and then you'll be hooked.[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2][/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]Captain Dave Kostyo[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]Knot Nancy Fishing Charters[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]305 620-5896 Charter[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]305 732-2628 Beeper[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][#800080][size 2][url "http://www.knotnancy.com"]www.knotnancy.com[/url][/size][/#800080][/font] [font "Arial"][#0000ff][size 2][url "mailto:nkostyo@bellsouth.net"]nkostyo@bellsouth.net[/url][/size][/#0000ff][/font]
