I was surprised to see lady fish, tarpon, snook, largemouth bass and bluegill in one pond. Even though it's not that unusuall I t just seemed odd to me. Another creek had pompano and tilapia..go figure this wasn't my first trip to the trail but definitely spent more time than previous since the wind and rain blew out the coastal areas we wanted to target tarpon on. There is always something to fish for there even if it's casting poppers to gar when nothing else is happening.David McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08513381038866640198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779732264661076995.post-18978010220700253862013-06-10T10:53:39.751-07:002013-06-10T10:53:39.751-07:00I was going to make a comment about you and Dave K...I was going to make a comment about you and Dave Knapp comparing notes, but there he is already. Nice thing about South Florida is that there are fish everywhere. Talipia is a good eating fish. You can find it at the local supermarket most of the time. Glad you had fun.

I think I need to explore that side of things based on the success you had...David Knapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12480485571834164857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779732264661076995.post-8669541644397394972013-06-10T07:30:22.393-07:002013-06-10T07:30:22.393-07:00Outstanding photos.
