Let me know if you are interested and I can hook you two up. It would be about an hour's drive east for you. Dave is a real cool guy and the tarpon was probably once in a life time for me but I hope not..

The guy can talk stripers all day if you let him..
thanks duayne, tarpon are bad dudes!! they will kick your butt....if they stay hooked up lol. i appreciate the offer for the guides name, i have an uncle that lives in miami and he is a flats guide in the everglades national park, ive been with him several times over the years, and i have NEVER got a big tarpon in the dang boat ! got some small ones on live bait, but lost all the big ones on a flyrod and a plug rod....i hate em ! lol
