Hello from Florida. I know that the fishing has not really blossomed around Shelter Island quite yet so I wanted to let you know that there’s some big fish somewhere and you can go get them.
I went out with my son-in-law, Dean Weaver, on his fast fishing boat along with a guide a few days ago with hopes of landing a lot of tarpon in the Gulf of Mexico between Ft. Myers up to the end of Sanibel island. We arrived at a good hour and fished with 10 other boats for three hours and saw very few “rolls” from the “Silver King” (a.k.a tarpon) that we can catch in the 85- to 110-pound area.
