Went to Sarasota, not much to tell but promised report. Wife and I celabrated our 20th year aniversary, so I spent most of my time with her. Caught a few fish from beach, ladyfish, snook, and some pin fish. However, the tarpon are running there and people are catching 50 to 100 pound tarpon just 100 yards from beach. I helped a guy land one that he had brought in by conoe that had a 28 inch girth. <br /> Did not take boat, but taking boat down in two weeks. Learned how to fish with my new fly rod while down there, was really worried about not being able to use it, no problem there, not as hard as I thought it would be. I think the fly rod will be a good tool in the right situation, either way it is something different and a new challenge. <br /> We stayed and are going back again at http://www.fishcove.com/ beach in front, bay in back with water and electric hook ups at no extra charge. Water is clear and people were great. Would recomend it to anyone. Have some pics, will see if wife will load them later if anyone is interested. I am going back to fish next time while wife and kid does beach thing. <br /> I did some homework while down there, hope to have more of a fishing report when I get back. Going after reds, snook, trout, and tarpon during the week of the 4th, and what ever else.
