Mark McGarity and I headed to S.C. for some poon fishing the other day near the one and only Pickney Island.  Best thing about poon fishing Pickney is that if you don’t find them there are plenty of reds to hassle.  Learn something new everyday,  well I learned if you turn that trolling motor on in the creek the fish would move 30-40 yrds away,  poling and staking out keeps them chewing.

What a Tarpon season this has been !!  All year long when these silver bruisers are not here all I can think of is seeing them rolling up the beach after being gone for so long.    With every cold front that passes some fish are leaving some will remain for a bit longer.  In some regards I almost want them to leave so I can gain my sanity back, What’s left of it ! No more getting up at 3:30 or 4a to make to certain spots under the cover of darkness.  As fall and winter approaches I have mixed emotions, I wish tarpon were not leaving and yet in some way glad to see them go !
