Puerto Rico Tarpon Connection

Morning Charter
Shane Hill & Co. From North Carolina
I've always said that a good charter is like fishing with a new "old" fishing buddy every day. This morning it felt that way, although it was difficult to catch bait with the cast net, it gave way to a sabiki bait catching bonding experience. From there we went out on the open Bay and quickly hooked our first jack crevalle and then a tarpon bite but did not stay, then another jack. Few more bites later and getting low on bait, went and got more, came back to the bay and the bite tapered. We headed back to the river to find our coveted tarpon, instead we saw a nice snook in the shallows and capitalized, all we needed was the tarpon for the PR Grand Slam, but it was not meant to be; got a couple more bites but no tarpon. We did see a cayman basking in the sun, lots of birds and a bunch of iguanas. Awsome Fishing day with my new Fishing buddies, until next time, we will get that elusive p**n'!
